Well..... If your getting popups..then something is lurking on the system so lets see what we can uncover.....
Before attacking an adware/spyware problem with hijackthis make sure you have already run the following tools. Download and update the databases on each program before running.
Also make sure you are using the the latest version (1.99.1) of
HijackThis and it's installed in it's own folder on the root drive.
(C:\HJT)
Download and install
CleanUp! but
do not run it yet.
*WARNING* Cleanup deletes EVERYTHING out of temp/temporary folders and does not make backups. If you have a 64 bit Operating System do NOT run Cleanup and let me know as we will use another utility
Open
Cleanup! by double-clicking the icon on your desktop (or from the Start > All Programs menu). Set the program up as follows:
*Click "
Options..."
*Move the arrow down to "
Custom CleanUp!"
*Put a check next to the following:
- Empty Recycle Bins
- Delete Cookies
- Delete Prefetch files
[X]Scan local drives for temporary files (Please uncheck this option)
- Cleanup! All Users
Click
OK
Press the
CleanUp! button to start the program. Reboot/logoff when prompted.
Please run an online scan at

Once it has finished save the activescan log. Then post that log in your next post.
Open hijackthis...click...config..misctools. Check the 2 box’s next to "Generate Startup List" and then click "Generate Startup List". Post that log in your next post.
