Go to www.lavasoft.com and get the free version of the program 'adaware'. Run this program and remove all adaware that it finds (there's a nice button that does it for you).

If the seekmo is 'smart' though, you might need to use hijackthis to remove it.

Install hijackthis, scan the computer (http://www.computerhilfen.com/explanation-c-Computer.html) and make a logfile. You can look at the list yourself to find seekmo, but you could also ctrl c the logfile and enter it into the logfilescanner at www.hijackthis.de

If you found the 'malware' choose the right checkboxes in hijackthis (only the malware), and press 'fix checked'. DO NOT CHOOSE PARTS IF YOU ARE NOT SURE, THIS PROGRAM SHOWS GOOD AND BAD STUFF!

If you are not sure, just post (http://www.computerhilfen.com/explanation-p-POST.html) the logfile here and we'll take a look at what should be removed.
