Get adaware d/l'ed and installed. Failing that have a look in your program files dir for recently created directories, then try and uninstall whatever is in them.

Theres that "RegCleaner" program which is quite good too, if you cant get rid of it.

I think theres a new version of it,

Be carefull messing with yer registry though. I find this really usefull for getting shut of CyDoor and other hard to delete bits and bats. You can also take a good peek ats whats on your system and customise start programs and shell extensions etc. Back up your reg first though.

Have a look at this thread. There's some details of where to look for the offending items...

aye, index.dat is a required file but it can be easily cleaned using a tool like "spider bite".
