Run Ad-Aware and Spybot (both free) to check for spyware. Also do a
Google search on "HijackThis" for info on how to get rid of a browser
hijacker. And be more careful next time as to where you visit. Porn
sites will infect your computer just like hookers will infect YOU. You
might want to fit your browser with a condom, like SpywareGuard (also
free).

Also, lots of info at:

I had gotten a bit arrogant regarding my vulnerability (that I had
little of it) until I ran the CWS Shredder utility and found a couple
nasties (which were present but ineffective). Still, it was like
feeling clean and then noticing you've been walking around with toilet
paper stuck to your shoe.

Hi Tony,

You can remove a right-click context menu option in Internet Explorer using
ToolbarCop:

Go to Start | Run and type

regedit

Navigate to

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MenuExt

and click on the plus (+) sign in front of MenuExt. Right click the subkey
representing what you want to get rid of and select Delete.
