n-Case is part of the spyware that was removed.

Seeif you can find the exe. file for it by doing a search from the Start bar, and delete it.

Some sort of marketing software to try and sell you junk.

The program probably left keys in your registry. I don't recommend you try to edit your registry unless you know what you are doing.

Removal

As of May 30, 2003, only Lavasoft's Ad-aware targets this browser hijacker, although I'm not positive if it gets the latest variant. Try Ad-aware first, then clean up anything left behind using our method for removal.
