w11150.exe : If you see this file running on your PC, you most likely have the WebRebates adware installed on your system. WebRebates is considered a malicious program, and you should remove it as soon as possible. We'll show you how.

Some versions of the WebRebates software will have an uninstall component. While this doesn't clean up all traces of the software, it's a good place to start.

Click on Start -> Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs.
Find any entries that have "WebRebates" or "TopRebates" in the title, and uninstall them.

Next, reboot your PC and follow the instructions in our Get Rid of Spyware guide. This will help you clean out any further remnants of WebRebates, as well as protect your PC in the future from spyware and adware.

Finally, check your computer for a WebRebates folder. w11150.exe can usually be found in a folder called "WebRebates4" (or similar). Look in C:\Program Files for this folder. Delete it if found.
