Go to Start > Run, and type in "msconfig", click OK > Startup and look for
the entries for CommonName, CNBABE.EXE., cnform.exe, BabeIE.dll,
CNBarIE.dll.... if any of them are there, uncheck them, click OK, then
reboot.
If you don't find all of them there, click Ctrl\Alt\Del and look for them in
the window that appears, if you find any, highlight and End Task on them.
That will ensure they are not running prior to the scan.
Now go to your Add\Remove programs and look for CommonName and uninstall it.
If you happen to see any of those others above there delete them also.
Do a file search for w3k*.tmp and delete all that you find.
Run Adaware.
When it's done choose "mark all for removal"
IMPORTANT: Make sure that you choose to make a BACKUP before removing
anything.
Click "Continue" to remove the nasties.
When it is finished I would reboot and run Ad-aware again to make sure all
is gone.
