Hi, I'm yet another person afflicted with the Adf.ly pop-up bot. (Is bot the right term?) I've read several conflicting accounts of how to remove Adf.ly from my computer, and that's why I'm posting now. Many thanks in advance for your help!

My PC runs Win 7 Home Premium, SP1, 64-bit.

In the last few days, the Adf.ly redirect pop-up has appeared on my browser about 5 times. I use Chrome, but I also have IE, Firebox, and Safari installed. I have not used these other browsers frequently enough to know if Adf.ly has infected them too.

I have run an AVG AntiVirus Free scan twice, and it has not caught Adf.ly. I've of course tried to going to Control Panel and looking for an Uninstall option, but I have not seen this option.

Any help is much appreciated. Thank you.
