the search snacks (adware?) program reinstalls in my computer at 2:22 and has been for at least 4 nights. it restarts my browser whne it happens, then i go into control panel and delete it. how can i stop this? there's nothing weird in my programs. i do download freeware occasionally though.

on windows 7 home premium using firefox

i ran malwarebytes and found a lot of junk, all non-malware though.
i checked in the tasks and found two with the names "bench-sys" and "bench-S-1-5-21-2259934168-2909562016-147991480-1000"
they description of both of them is "this will keep you happy"
although it does say the last run time was "never"..
it also says that I'm the author.

there's another one that has no author and it set to run at 2:19, and ran last at 2:19 today.
