New Spyware driving me nuts... and I'm not stupid either!!!

[brxndxn]

While browsing the Internet quickly trying to find a phone number, I accidentally clicked 'yes' to one of those goddamned 'would you like to install this' pop-ups. I was merely trying to close the window except the 'yes' button was directly behind the close button for a previous pop-up window.

I run Ad-aware and have it updated. Yet, it does not find this spyware.

I cannot figure out what running process it is.. but it basically puts a double-underlined link over certain words while I'm browsing. How the hell do I get rid of it? And, what is it called?

either one should also be able to remove it.

Or, you know, you could also never be allowed to make a mistake like this in the first place...
