Heh, ive seen that this is common to many others. I've looked arround on other sites and saw thet there was sometinh that I have to do with HJT(HiJackThis), bt im not quite sure. I have the same problem, where every few websites i visit a pop-up comes up and a little yellow box in the cornepops up and says "Ad served by intellegent advisor" it a new one to me and i would very much like help removing this, because my computer is only a few months old.
Hi seraph,

Did you install PlayMP3z recently? Because that's how IntelligentAdvisor gets installed.
In anyway, you can uninstall it without any problems, so look in your software > add/remove programs and uninstall the following if present:

PlayMP3z
IntelligentAdvisor

Reboot afterwards.

After reboot, look if next folders are still present and delete them:

C:\Program Files\PlayMP3z
C:\Program Files\IntelligentAdvisor

Let me know if that solved your issue.
Yes, that took care of it, thank you. But now there is another problem that i got. there are programs in my temp folder that want to access the internet. one of them is C:\Users\dad\AppData\Local\Temp\~nsu.tmp\Au_.exe is this a trojan of some sort? and, like i said, there are more. and everytime i try to delete everything in my temp folder, it says that i do not have administrator rights to do so, but i am an administrator for my computer. also, it all comes back, and there is more of it. and it still wants to access the internet, but when my mcaffe notification pops to ask me if ill let it on, i deny access.
Hi,

You can't delete anything from your Temp folder, this is normal.
About the Au_.exe, this could be a legitimate exe, or it could be malware.. The fact that it is from the ~nsu.tmp folder is because it uses the Nullsoft Install System. Many programs use this, so this doesn't mean that this is malware.
Do you have Winamp installed for example? Because I know Winamp puts an Au_.exe there as well which connects with the internet.
If you're in doubt, just upload that file here:

and let it scan.
