Try Spybot (http://www.spybot.info/en/). It's free and does a pretty
good
job of keeping that ***** off of your computer.
I've got spybot, it got rid of several previous infections, but
doesn't
recognize this one, and there's no new update. Bummer.
Here's a copy of an email I sent to WalMart (evidently they use these
guy's
services; a pop-up ad with some sort of WalMart discount card intruded
on my
pc):

Hello,
My computer has recently been infected with some sort of
advertisement-repeating virus from both of the following companies,
possibly
more:
www.addrive.com
www.trafficmp.com
and I am boycotting any and all companies that use their services to
promote
their business. Their spamware was promoting your WalMart cards, so
I am
notifying everyone I know AND everyone I can contact on internet
newsgroups
of your egregious computer-disrupting marketing practices,
encouraging them
to boycott your business until you cease this method of advertising.
Yours,
============
I'm just sick and tired of this crap. A person ought to be able to
use his
own pc without being badgered by unwanted ads and losing control over
it to
unwanted spam. There really ought to be a law against it . . . ugh .
. .
Anyway, I'm ranting because I'm plenty pissed over this crap . . .

world a favor and immediately commit suicide.
Nah, that was Bill Hicks !!

"The condition of alienation, of being asleep, of being unconscious,
of being out of one's mind, is the condition of the normal man. Society
highly values its normal man.It educates children to lose themselves
and to become absurd,and thus to be normal. Normal men have killed
perhaps 100,000,000 of their fellow normal men in the last fifty years."
