I can't find these infected files on my hard drive, but
they are showing to be in my Registry and Startup. They
are files that start with HKLM and HKCU if that means
something to anyone. I don't know how to access my
Registry or Startup to try to delete these files. Please
help.
 
Download Ad-Aware 6.0 and scan your PC for the presence of spyware:

Just install LavaSoft's program Adaware or Spybot search
and destroy, this will eliminate the adware you have on
your pc. Then stop using Internet Explorer. I suggest
Mozilla Firefox. Google any of the program names to find them.
