Someone installed some gambling crap on IE 4, Win 98. Now my user has a sex and gambling toolbar and popups. This is great for the kids. Where in the register can I whack this stuff?  
Thanks

Download [SpyBot Search and Destroy](http://spybot.eon.net.au/index.php?lang=en&page=download), install it, update it and run it.

Then download [Ad-Aware](http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/), install it, update it and run it.

If you still have problems come back here.

Thanks, Zipper. Adware had already run, Spybot found all but the toolbar and I got that with regedit.
