I scan once, then i delete the spyware, then to make sure i scan again and it comes back!
I think a virus is starting installing the spyware.

first go to Add/Remove programs and uninstall wild tangent. Then download HijackThis and run a scan, save a log, post it here so we can clean up. :)

It is embedded. Just did my daughters pc last week and came up with similar problem. On second install it was there again. Let me clarify that is on of those cd's that come with e-machines. I used my cd with her key and got it to work without the dam aol. Will edit her install cd to remove the aol part.
