Hi, over the past week or so I've been getting quite a lot of pop-ups and keep getting one particular one which says adebot and that I have a trojan on my computer. Ive tried avast, mcaffee, avg, spybot but the problem still appears to be there. my machine has also started to slow up.

would really appreciate if someone could help me, many thanks.
 
Please download and run this tool from here (majorgeeks.com/download3155.html).
Scan and save a log file, upload it in a new reply, do not fix anything using this program unless you know exactly what your going.
cheers

michael_joe due to hynesy post, you are using an older version of HijackThis (v1.99.1) which now must be uninstalled !

You will need to use the HijackThis link that I stated above, only.

Also, for your and my benefit, please do the following in order:

1. Uninstall the obsolete version of HijackThis (presently installed)
2. Download and run CCleaner and remove all temp files
3. Download and run Startup, remove any unwanted startup programs, then restart
4. Download HijackThis (as per my link!)
5. Run a full scan and post back in a new reply
6. Be aware that I myself, can not review your hijackthis log, this must be done by the spyware specialists here.

@hynesy see the mess you made by one post !

I would like you to do an online scan so that we can what else may be in your system,
Run Kaspersky online scanner
With the exception of Internet Explorer, which must be used for this scan, keep ALL programs closed
Note: It is recommended to disable onboard antivirus program and antispyware programs while performing scans to speed up scan time and to make sure there are no conflicts.
Do not go surfing while your resident protection is disabled!
Once the scan is finished remember to re-enable resident antivirus protection along with whatever antispyware application you use.

Do an online scan with Kaspersky Online Scanner in Internet Explorer. You will be prompted to install and run an ActiveX component from Kaspersky, Click Yes.
Note for Internet Explorer 7 users: If at any time you have trouble with the accept button of the licence, click on the Zoom tool located at the right bottom of the IE window and set the zoom to 75%. Once the licence accepted, reset to 100%.
  • The program will launch and then start to download the latest definition files.
  • Once the scanner is installed and the definitions downloaded, click Next.
  • Now click on Scan Settings
  • In the scan settings make sure that the following are selected:
    o Scan using the following Anti-Virus database:
    o Extended (If available, otherwise use standard)
    o Scan Options:
    o Scan Archives
    o Scan Mail Bases
  • Click OK
  • Under select a target to scan, select My Computer
  • The scan will take a while so be patient and let it run.
  • Please do not use your computer while the scan is running. Once the scan is complete it will display if your system has been infected.
  • Click the Save Report As... button (see red arrow below)

    Kas-SaveReport-1.gif

  • In the Save as... prompt, select Desktop
  • In the File name box, name the file
  • In the Save as type prompt, select Text file (see below)

    Kas-Savetxt.gif

  • Include the report in your next post.
