it's been like 3 months or so since I got these unwanted favorites. i don't even know where they came from! I can't delete them, not even going to the favorites folder. Maybe they're spywares...?? I've done everything: run the lavasoft, use the spybot... and nothing. they're still here. They inlcude "cool stuff", "travel", "shopping gifts" and so on. these are not the unwanted favorites you delete and then will come back. On these one the right click of the mouse won't work. i'm sick and tired of having them in my PC. If someone could please help me, i'd be very thankful.

Do you have these as icons on the task bar? in the bottom right hand corner. They always load lots of annoying ads onto your P.C.
This is very similar to a problem i had some time ago from an annoying Trojan called Spy Falcon. This is an ad that can pop on your screen and swears that it's sole purpose is for removing spyware adware etc but it is in fact a serious virus which once in your system is a real pain to remove. It will allow your computer to be exploited by Porno sites and you will get lots of pornographic ads popping up on your screen. It also allows Adult Friend Finder to access also. I got rid of these but it took me some time to nail down their exact location which i found in windows 32. I don't advise you removing any files from here but this is the place where the nasties are located. each nasty you have just Google the name and see what comes up as you can bet that if you have had these nasties someone else has had them and can tell you how to get rid of them. Where ever there is a virus there is always a cure. Norton Anti-Spy at one time had no protection against Spy-Falcon and would allow it into your P.C but i am not sure if that has now been rectified. You won't remove these with Spy-Bot or lavasoft although Spy-Bot is fantastic it is useless against these.You may find that you will have to remove them manually! Although don't bother looking through windows 32 as you will not find the names of your nasties there. The people who make these parasites always put them under something which appears to be genuine and part of the system so you don't remove them.
