hi i tried downloading adwares, but somehow it always returns (canada.exe) i go to WINDOWS/sys32 to delete it but when i restart, there it is again on my desktop. how do i get to the root of this? it is very annoying and i get this pop-up from ads1.searchmiracle.com and i have blocked it already but it still keeps popping up. I am really at my wits end. HEEEELLLPPP!!!!

I never told you to download adwares..

Its AD-AWARE @ www.download.com
or other ANTI-adwares.

1) Boot into Safe mode.

2) Kill these running processes (if any) with Task Manager (Press Ctrl+Shift+Esc at same time):
"go in.exe"
"hot_canada.exe"

3) Remove these files (if present) with Windows Explorer:
"go in.exe"
"hot_canada.exe"
Use Search to find them.
