If its apparent that it removed what you installed, you might be ok. A safer thing would be to run Windows System Restore which will restore your system to a date you specified. I hope you learned a lesson. Try using Spybot S&D or other adware removal s/w like Adaware. If its apparent that it removed what you installed, you might be ok.

Does anyone have any further info on this thing? How do I clean it or know if it has succeeded?

I don't need Monster!!
