   How can I get rid of persistent pesky ad

   From: retired@home.com   
      
   Advertisement windows keep popping up in every browser and application   
   I use. How can I get rid of them? If they're on the computer they must   
   be in a folder somewhere or some folder that triggers them. Is there   
   any way to trace a window to the folder that triggered it? Better yet   
   would be a clean-up program that deleted them. The ones I have now are:   
      
   Sarbash Labs. Appears in the middle of the screen, types out an   
   advertising message overseveral seconds and has a button that you have   
   to click to make it go away.   
   Improve Speed PC   
   Optimizer Pro   
   A window that appears and persists in the lower right corner without a   
   name saying "Reminder. Your Computer is not backed up. Backup your   
   files online today. Free computer backup Available." It has a "Backup   
   Now" button.
