I have some spyware on my PC.

Its from mysearchnow.com and nothing I have used will get rid of it, adaware, spybot etc.

I comes up with a bar at the bottom with different options and pop up will come up every now and then!

Any suggestions? (

Have you googled for "Mysearchnow" to see if any sites give the answer to get rid of it?

Download SpySweeper and the program should fix it, if not try Ad-Aware. I'm pretty sure SpySweeper will fix it, but if it doesn't Ad-Aware definatley will.

Try searching/googling for a cure/look for techie sites - Norton/Symantec is often a good place to try. It will probably tell you what registry entries to play with/remove. But, and I expect you know this, take care/back up before tinkering under the bonnet!!!!
