I never told you to download adwares..
 
Its AD-AWARE @ www.download.com
or other ANTI-adwares.

1) Boot into Safe mode.
 
2) Kill these running processes (if any) with Task Manager (Press Ctrl+Shift+Esc at same time):
"go in.exe"
"hot_canada.exe"
 
3) Remove these files (if present) with Windows Explorer:
"go in.exe"
"hot_canada.exe"
Use Search to find them.
