I need help with getting rid of unwelcomed popups. I had the same problem before and was able to fix by viewing the logs of people that had the same problem. I have had my computer free from ad and spywares for quite a while until yesterday. I had problems with my user profile in windows--is a long story--and had to create a new one. I did not implement the same stringent internet explorer security measures that I had in place with the old account and I think that's how it happened. Needless to say, now I'm getting popups from time to time, they are not that bad, but still annoying. All my efforts have been futile so far. I have run adaware and it deletes the files but they reappear. I also get a virus alert from AVG antivirus, some downloader.Agent something that creates a temp file named 41.exe in the temp folder. IF any of you guys can help me, I will greatly appreciate it. Thank you. Here is my Hijackthis log.

The popups I get are from one z1.adserver.com, www.oinadserve.com, doubleclick.net, and some other ones. I've tried to locate the files in the directories and the registry to no avail.
