Let me begin with the first incident of popups through a definitve malware program, I dont know how i got it but i did. I'm suddenly bombarded with them, ive tried all the online virus checkers and software including PC-Cillin Internet Security 2007 and Kaspersky. Nothing seems to be able to deal with these popups, ive tried blocking the cookies of the advertisements that splash up on the screen, but to no avail. A thing to note is that these popups only appear when i use I.E. browser and not Firefox.
Anyway, the second issue is more recent, and more serious; my computer has a constant intruder, or atleast to my knowledge, some sort of hacker. I'm pretty certain its someone because of last night when i was using my computer, the disc-ray began to open and close constantly! now i am a believer of the supernatural, but i'm pretty damn certain that this ain't no ghost! As when I stopped my internet traffic via Zone Alarm, it all of a sudden stopped.
And finally, here is my hijack this log, with my firewall, anti-virus, nti-spyware programs and windows all closed;
