How do you remove Adchoice/Valueclick from your computer?

Question

I started getting Adchoice windows on my Facebook page which is slowing down the page load time. I'm using IE and Firefox. Installed the ad block app for Firefox and set a cookie in IE so I don't actually see the ads on the pages any more now want to remove whatever is on my computer that made them appear in the first place.  What made the ads appear and how do I get rid of it?

You may have added some app to your facebook page. That would be the 
first suspect adware. 

For more info on the adware now on Facebook read article in link below.

You can disable the browser addon(s) and uninstall thru your add/ remove programs. 
Look for a listing of Yontoo and uninstall. 

The cool thing today is not to use Facebook!
