Assuming you're on WinXP, use Windows Firewall in conjunction with:
Seconfig XP 1.0
http://seconfig.sytes.net/
Seconfig XP is able configure Windows not to use TCP/IP as transport
protocol for NetBIOS, SMB and RPC, thus leaving TCP/UDP ports 135, 137-139
and 445 (the most exploited Windows networking weak point) closed.)
OR
Configuring NT-services much more secure.

Restore Your System.

I run XP OS, and I got this Virus, or Ad-ware (whatever) this
afternoon. After screwing around with trying to remove it it for an
hour, running Lava-soft anti-Adware and
SpyBot, I went to Control Panel, switched to Catagory View (left tool-
bar), and
selected Performance and Management in the Categories.

Then, again in the upper area of the left tool-bar, selected Restore
System, clicked Restore my Computer to an earlier time button,
and then on the calendar that appears picked Sunday 5/18 as the
"restore to"
date. This solved the problem...after the system restored to the 5/18
baseline,
the problem was GONE.
