Name a seperate file for the download so you don't infect the new file. Make a back up copy also.
Clear your Cache after you have made a backup.
You must also remove firefox (You can add it again later)
Run your adware and choose the smart system scan default.
When finished,,Click on "Show LogFile" and then "Critical Objects".
Click you check boxes to select each item with malware and then click "Next" (Do not choose quarantine) This will remove the selected items. Do not click on the items you wish to keep.
Then you must ReStart your computer. A cold boot is recommended.
Then you can reinstall Firefox.
Firefox 2 http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/
Firefox 1.5 http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
This should complete it.
