Hello ineedhelp, Welcome to TomCoyote forum. You do have nasties onboard, follow these directions please:
1) I wish to be sure that D:\ is a drive and not a floppy or disk. HJT must run from a drive. Thanks.

2) Download CCleaner from this link: http://www.ccleaner.com/ Take the time to review the instructions on the download page so that when I ask you to run it you will know what you are doing.

3) Open Hijack this and choose "Do a system scan only" then check the box in front of these line items:

Close all programs but HJT and all browser windows, then click on "Fix Checked"

Run CCleaner then restart the computer and post a new log in this same thread along with any feedback you have.

Once the log is posted, let's check for trojans, run this free online scan, scan the whole system and set it to clean or fix anything it locates. Let me know what it finds and the exact name and location of anything it locates but can't remove. You may be asked to install an ActiveX, please do so as this program is safe and it can not run without it.

Thanks...pskelley

Thanks pskelley. As of now, i believe that those nasty pop-ups are gone. But i haven't check my pc for trojans yet. It really takes a lot of time, so maybe i'll do it later. Thank you very much for your help. My pc is much better now.

[pskelley]

Sounds good ineedhelp, but in order to finish my job I need to see the last log I asked for. If something was missed by either of us it can rapidly act to reinfect you and I do not wish for that to happen. Once I see the log and nothing is evident then I will also have some great information to help you stay safe and clean online.

As far as the trojan scan, I suggest it when several trojans have been identified and removed with HJT. many trojans have recently start hiding well and the small utility that is HJT can't see them all. There may not be anything left...but there also may. It is certainly your option, but my advice to you is to find the time, perhaps run it while you are sleeping and the results will be there in the morning. I will also give you a link to free trial download which is very good if you would prefer, but either way a deep scan does take a little time. Your call. Good luck and safe surfing, Thanks...pskelley

[ineedhelp]

Ok pskelley. i have just finished scanning my pc on http://www.windowsec...com/trojanscan/ and thankfully, there were no trojans found! i hope that's the end of those pop-ups.
And as you have requested, here is my new HJT log:
