Solved Problem with getting rid of 'buytojoy'

[jeffpoet]

I have eliminated 'buytojoy' from my Extensions, Programs and the C Drive. However when I start my PC it adds itself freshly to my Task Manager. I have to get rid of it every morning before I start by removing it from the Task Manager. Can anyone help me please with this frustrating and annoying piece of adware. Thanks Jeff

Have you checked your PC for viruses or other unwanted programs recently? Many viruses can automatically download and install adware without you even noticing. Fortunately, in this situation you did notice.
