You have a "LOP" infection, most likely from MessengerPlus3

MessengerPlus - third party MSN Messenger extension that adds a number of useful features. Bundles the hard to remove C2Media LOP adware; the software does offer you a choice during setup: make sure to install MessengerPlus WITHOUT that "sponsor program"!

Sometimes uninstalling it does the trick.

Sometimes we have to "take it out the 'hard' way".

Let's try the uninstall first.

Please go to:

Start -> Control Panel -> Add Remove Programs

Look for Messenger Plus3!

Click it once to highlight it, then click the Change/Remove button.

Then click the Uninstall button in the box that appears.

A Messenger Plus3! uninstall box will appear.

Make sure there is a check in both * options listed below.

*Delete Messenger Plus! preferences
*Uninstall every additional Messenger Plus3! plugin.

A box with numbers will appear, type in the 7 numbers and click Uninstall.

Another box will appear, click Yes to continue uninstalling.

Another box will appear, (at this point make sure ALL windows and programs are closed) click Ok.

Another box will appear, click Close and reboot.

Make another Hijack This! log file, and "copy/paste" it into this thread. :)

Reboot.

All the pop-ups gone now?
:unsure:

Your Java needs updated:

The latest version out is jre1.5.0_07

After updating you must remove previous versions via "Add/Remove Programs".
