Angry Please help...

I was just surfing the web when a pop up of www.xupiter.com pops up...don't click on the link!!this site gave me a new toolbar and programs and new favorite links...the program doesn't have a unistall option and it's not in the add-remove programs either. What should i do?This better not be a virus or anytjhing!!!

Go to Tools > Internet options > In general settings tab - Temporary Internet files section > click SETTINGS button > Click the VIEW OBJECTS button.

Do u see any suspicious toolbar objects or something related? If so right click and do REMOVE

You might try using Ad-Aware
For further reference, increase your security settings or start using a better browser

try using the latest reference files for ad aware it says it'll remove it, or this place tells how to remove it manually http://www.falkware.com/article.php?...20925160715115
