Download a copy of Ad-Aware and the updates all onto a disk. You may have to try opening your computer in a "safe mode" to keep the malware from starting up before you can install and run the Ad-Aware. Take a look at the system message before your operating system kicks in. It usually involves pressing one of the "F" keys before the operating system starts up. While you're at work you might want to visit your computer manufacturer's pages or the Microsoft pages (assuming you're using a Windows product) and see what they say about opening in "Safe Mode."
