Hi, I have gotten some adware and spyware I assume for the following popups: adfarm, command service, ad.firstadsolution, directorysupport, and targetsaver. I don't know what to do to get rid of these guys. I've tried to get rid of just Command Service using spybot S&D, but when it tries to get rid of the item, S&D says it can't get rid of the item unless I reboot and try again. But from what I have read elsewhere that sometimes ends up not helping. Still, I can't get S&D to activate upon reboot anyways. I would prefer to get help with the programs more than getting S&D to work on reboot as a priority. What's weird is I just got this comp upgraded to XP today and got these things like an hour later. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
