Getting rid of SPYWAREleft by IMESH

[TOMMY]

TO whom it may concern,
My friend had recently told me to check out Imesh, so i did
just that. BUt as soon as i installed it i realized how big
of a mistake it was, so i uninstalled it.
Nevertheless, it left a bunch of spyware i cant get rid of,
for example:
whenever i type a search item in interned explorer it
automatically goes to the "quik serachbar" or something,
and i also realized that my computer's internet connection
became unstable, meaning i cant acces certain sites, for
exampley my college's site: www.fordham.edu
I'd appreciate a response because i dont really want to
format my hard drive once again...
thank you
Tommy

Download Adaware and Spybot Search and Destroy.
Update 'em, run 'em and pray. Also, you may want to beat
the heck outta that "friend"
