Ried, thanks again for the follow-up. Yes, I'm still getting the popups. I went back and checked my post of 'yesterday' Nov 27, it was done with HiJackThis 1.991, to wit:
Logfile of HijackThis v1.99.1
Scan saved at 11:28:44 AM, on 11/27/05
Platform: Windows 98 SE (Win9x 4.10.2222A)
MSIE: Internet Explorer v6.00 SP1 (6.00.2800.1106)

Is there some other possible difference between this computer and others that I have? I run Win98se and Firefox 1.07 exclusively. The other machines do not experience popups - only the one you're helping me delouse. I have confirmed that the settings on each computer are the same for Firefox. Also, while I've not done an exhaustive survey, the popups are always the ones I mentioned: ad.yieldmanager, inqwire, clickandtrack, and venus123.com. Does the spyware detect cookie activity or is it activated by some trick of banner ads?
