    reinstall windows.... that virus is a real bitch to get rid of. i had it myself recently (thanks to my sister). i booted into safe mode did a spyware scan which found a removed the spyware (at least thats what i thought), when i restarted the computer it had got worse and taken over my desktop.

    system restore wont work, spyware and virus protection wont work.

    the only way around it that i found (without spending a long time manually going through the registry and deleting all references to the malware) was doing a full clean install of windows

    Just download a trial of Ewido -- and run it in Safe Mode ! Adsmart will be gone ! you may be infected by SpySheriff though that is a different story -- you will have to run another set of tools to get rid of everything then.
