Pop-ups, spyware and error messages

Hi, I need some help cleaning out my computer. I'm new at this and hope that with your expertise and help that I'll be able to cleanse my computer. I have windows millenium..yes I now realize it wasn't a good choice. I'm using spybot search and destroy in order to clean-up and immunize, however I'm unable to get the pop-ups off and get rid of the error messages. The most common error messages are kernel32, cxtpls, and msgsrv. I've downloaded HJT and scanned after starting up regularly. I'm wondering whether I should have scanned in safe mode instead?

Thanks for the info. LDTate. I've downloaded the link, updated, reboot, ran it, my recycle bin was empty, ran HJT and here is the log:

I'm not getting pop-ups right now, I was getting some errors when my computer froze and I would Ctrl ALT DEL. It was either Kernel32, CXTPLS, or MSGRSV not responding messages, however they're not there right now.

I was also getting a cyberlink folder window pop-up and it doesn't do it anymore. Bottom-line, my computer is behaving pretty well right now.

Alright LDTate, Your advice is paying off big time. I ran HJT, hit none of the above, did system scan only, put a check on all of them except this one which I couldn't find: O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [AutoUpdater] "c:\Program Files\AutoUpdate\AutoUpdate.exe however, I also found and deleted: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\IUCPXL32.EXE Closed all windows and browsers except HJT and clicked Fix checked, cleaned my C DRIVE - disk cleanup, reboot, here is my new log file: Logfile of HijackThis v1.99.1 Scan saved at 1:08:38 PM, on 17/01/2006 Platform: Windows ME (Win9x 4.90.3000) MSIE: Internet Explorer v6.00 SP1 (6.00.2800.1106) Running processes: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\KERNEL32.DLL C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\MSGSRV32.EXE C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\mmtask.tsk C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\MPREXE.EXE C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\ATI2EVXX.EXE C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\STIMON.EXE C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\KB891711\KB891711.EXE C:\WINDOWS\EXPLORER.EXE C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\SYSTRAY.EXE C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\RESTORE\STMGR.EXE C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\INTERNAT.EXE C:\WINDOWS\TASKMON.EXE C:\PROGRAM FILES\ATI TECHNOLOGIES\ATI CONTROL PANEL\ATIPTAXX.EXE C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\G-VGA.EXE C:\PROGRAM FILES\CYBERLINK DVD SOLUTION\POWERDVD\PDVDSERV.EXE C:\PROGRAM FILES\B'S CLIP\BSCLIP.EXE C:\PROGRAM FILES\HEWLETT-PACKARD\HP SHARE-TO-WEB\HPGS2WND.EXE C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\QTTASK.EXE C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\WMIEXE.EXE C:\PROGRAM FILES\GRISOFT\AVG FREE\AVGCC.EXE C:\PROGRAM FILES\GRISOFT\AVG FREE\AVGEMC.EXE C:\PROGRAM FILES\GRISOFT\AVG FREE\AVGAMSVR.EXE C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\IUCPXL32.EXE C:\PROGRAM FILES\HEWLETT-PACKARD\HP SHARE-TO-WEB\HPGS2WNF.EXE C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\DDHELP.EXE C:\PROGRAM FILES\COREL\WORDPERFECT OFFICE 2000\PROGRAMS\ALARM.EXE C:\PROGRAM FILES\COREL\WORDPERFECT OFFICE 2000\PROGRAMS\DAD9.EXE C:\WINDOWS\WUAUCLT.EXE C:\UNZIPPED\HIJACKTHIS\HIJACKTHIS.EXE R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Window Title = Microsoft Internet Explorer provided by Sympatico Internet Service R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings,ProxyOverride = ;127.0.0.1;

Sounds like a plan LDTate,

I received an error message after entering in command prompt: cd %WinDir%\System
regsvr32 /u C:\Program Files\CxtPls\CxtPls.dll.

The error message was: "Regsvr32 Loadlibrary("C:\program") Failed one of the library files needed to run this application cannot be found"

I was able to delete "O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [q99U37R] IUCPXL32.EXE"

I was not able to find and delete: "O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [AutoLoaderq2qo1JMkZKNO] "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\IUCPXL32.EXE" /ExeName="CXTPLS" /HideDir /PC="CP.IST2.ME" /ShowLegalNote="nonbranded" /UninstallName="CtxPls"
