Sounds like an adware problem.

Just run adaware and spybot search and destroy (both free) and it should kill it.

Cheers,
David

This is the reason why i dont save peoples email addresses in a contact list, i just keep one mail from everyone i might want to contact. Few things more embarassing than sending everyone a virus!

Where can I get a free version of adaware as my spybot S & D will not get rid of an "Admilli" program

Adaware is available from here:

I assume your spybot program is up to date?

And that you are turning system restore off when you use it to remove anything?

Cheers,

well all my virus stuff couldnt get rid of it,a quick system restore seems to have done the trick
