Yet another question. :P

Hi again,
I know I'm a pain.  I could look this stuff online but I trust you guys and your knowledgability. 
I once had Verizon DSL but I uninstalled all of that when I got my Comcast.  The problem is, even though I uninstalled it their security suite is stuck on my programs and I cannot remove it.  It just stays there no matter what I do.  This didn't really bother me until my computer was hacked and now the IE windows keep popping up with a "V" (Verizon) logo on the upper right hand corner. This tells me the hacker must be using Verizon internet to work his/her magic.  And my not being able to remove the Verizon Security Suite is really bugging me although, I understand it probably has nothing to do with the Buffer Overflow hack I have infested in my computer.
Does anyone have any idea how to remove this stupid Verizon Security Suite?  Or do you think I just shouldn't worry about it.
Also,I have to get an external hard drive and back up some of my files before I reformat my computer.  It'll probably be another week or two.  How much memory do you think I should get? I'm just backing up about 100 songs for my ipod and all the crap I downloaded for my Sims 2 game.  I downloaded a lot of stuff and I have all of the Sims 2 expansion packs.
???
And again, thank you!!!!

Get a registry cleaner like CCleaner to remove all the Verizon left over from your registry. While you're at it use a good antivirus and antispywares to scan your pc -- You can use more than more antispywares apps.
