superiorads.biz is a common known m,alware and any decent antispyweare program should fix it
try running thes programs, they are good programs
From my notes
=============
Also while your computer is in good nick you should download and install superantispyware and Spybot –Search and Destroy because when malware gets going you will not be able to access the net.
Clean Up Computer
===============
Superantispyware
http://www.superantispyware.com
Has a stop homepage from being altered which is good
Can reset windows defaults in various parts
Download and run superantispyware. I was put onto this program because of an annoying popup (XP or Vista plus all OS preceding)
Install it and set the preferences to monitor your home page.
Set up tick boxes that you want in the other tabs as you require.
You don’t need to run it at startup unless you want the antispyware protection 24/7.
Superantispyware is a good program and remember to update it before scanning. A scan may take 45mins.
Note Superantispyware has powerful reset tools that will set stuff back to windows defaults.
To use these tools click preferences >repairs. This may be handy to reset IE URLS if you have annoying pop ups.
Spybot – Search and Destroy
=====================
Download spybot search and destroy. Through its immunize page and link to javacools spyblaster, spybot can manage activex problems which is extremely difficult for antispyware programs to find.

Windows Live Onecare
===================
Onecare safety scan fixes registry and finds temp files that nothing else seems to find.
http://onecare.live.com/site/en-us/default.htm
Choose the vista link for vista users.
It does registry, spyware , virus , disk clean up and defrag
XP Users http://onecare.live.com/site/en-ca/defau...
Vista Users http://onecare.live.com/site/en-ca/cente...
Run the full safety scanner, it takes a few seconds to install the scanning files but when you start the scan, it takes 2 hours or more. Let it load the scanning tools, then start the scan. So once it starts to load x file of x , you can leave the computer and go to bed etc.
Then at the end of the scan it asks you to set it running full time.
Think twice about setting it to run in the background as it could be another thing to slow you down. However, it may be worth while if you have no other security programs running.
Consider the following options:
I personally run Norton 360 which is full internet security and run superantispyware when I want to.
So if you don’t have a decent internet security program then perhaps run the superantispyware with your antivirus in the background.
If you sick of antivirus programs that don’t work perhaps run onecare full time and run superantispyware whenever.
Now you should be flying and Onecare has even set up a new system restore point for you.
Note onecare does other stuff as well. Click on the menus on the LHS column., but all of this is done if you click Safety Scan.

IE7
=====
Over time IE7 seems to set its own (or programs do) tick boxes in the advance tab.
In IE7 Tools >Internet Options >Advance Tab
Click Restore advance settings defaults
Tick empty temp files when browser closes (this empties the cache, which if not empty, will stop you from going online).
Bullet disable phishing filter
Delete Browser History, cookies the whole lot regularly.
Close the browser to set the settings.
NOTE: 2008 will be the year of add on malware and spyware. I advise NOT to install active x when asked to on unknown websites. If you allow an active x install and it contains adware or such, no antivirus or anti-spyware will find it, because you have given permission to install it. The cleanup programs think that you want it installed. It will be very difficult to remove.
Phishing Filter
=========
When first released, phishing filter slowed IE7. Apparently, Microsoft has fixed this through the windows updates. If you like you could try to run it - bullet the enable.
Only run one phishing filter program, like wise only run one firewall program.
