The Temp folders should be cleaned out periodically as installation programs and hijack programs leave a lot of junk there. Download CleanUp! http://cleanup.stevengould.org/ (Alternate Link if main link don't work - http://www.greyknight17.com/spy/Cleanup.exe ) and install it. Run CleanUp! and click on CleanUp! button. When it asks you if you want to logoff, click on Yes.

SearchBasket is junk...Uninstall it. If there are any other programs you don't recognize there, please let us know.

Delete the file C:\Documents and Settings\Ruben\Local Settings\II22.exe

If it gives you trouble, try safe mode. If that fails, do the following:

Download KillBox http://www.greyknight17.com/spy/KillBox.exe. Run KillBox and check the box that says 'End Explorer Shell While Killing File'. Next click on 'Delete on Reboot'. For each of the following files below, check the box that says 'Unregister .dll Before Deleting' if it's not grayed out. Copy and paste each of the following into KillBox (hitting the X button for each file - choose NO when it asks if you want to reboot):

C:\Documents and Settings\Ruben\Local Settings\II22.exe

Next, Download ewido security suite from here: http://www.ewido.net/en/download/

Update it’s database from here.. http://www.ewido.net/en/download/updates/
Run a scan and let it clean the PC. Post the scan log from ewido, and a new hijackthis log when complete.

Are you still experiencing the pop-ups?
