Hello,
I keep getting yet another annoying pop up from this site:

global-finder.com

I've tried to run adaware, search and destroy, and webroot
to remove it but none of them find this program.

Any ideas???

Had the same problem as Kor-- computer suddenly slow (especially
on stuff like scrolling web pages), global-finder.com replaced home
page on IE, etc..

CWShredder (ref: http://www.spywareinfo.com/articles/cws/ ) fixed
the problems.

Thanks for the info!
