Hello and Good Evening Everyone!

:rant2: I might be your most difficult case yet! :rant2:

The pop-ups have taken over my computer - I have downloaded AdAware AND Spybot but neither of them have managed to fix the problem. I just downloaded HijackThis so hopefully someone can tell me what's going on.

Below is a copy of the HijackThis results.

I hope and pray that someone can help me. I can no longer enjoy surfing the web because of the dozens of pop-ups I am faced with.

Thanks soooooo much! :wavey:

  • The fixes are specific to your problem and should only be used for this issue on this machine.
  • Please continue to review my answers until I tell you your machine appears to be clear. Absence of symptoms does not mean that everything is clear.
  • It's often worth reading through these instructions and printing them for ease of reference.
  • If you don't know or understand something, please don't hesitate to say or ask!! It's better to be sure and safe than sorry.
