did everything and still have popups

thanks for your help. i did everything you said exactly and i still get them. what's the next step?

i've gone ahead and attached 2 logs. 1 after a fresh boot...and the other after i opened IE and a couple other programs and browsed a lil to get the popups to come out.

when i get one of the popups, i click properties and the first part says:
"click.aspx?"...something something then "epilot" ...other stuff then "productresearch.info"...blah

below that in the properties window still...for address (url) it shows:

"adchannel.contextplus.net/services/adclickserver/ccid_eql_11251_amp_requestid_eql_b32298B4"...blah blah blah "productresearch.info"...blah

i also get www.888.com casino popups
and also an antivirus ad popup with this url:

I would advise to get rid of AOL, incl. the AOL-toolbar and AIM

And stop using that crappy IE, go to www.getfirefox.com

still having the same issues

i followed the directions...turned off restore, allowed viewing of all files, etc...
1 thing i had to do was actually open IE instead of just right click and properties when i had to delete cookies and files. would that screw it up?

also...i ran spyware doctor and i typed a list of a buncha stuff it found below. lemme know if you have any other ideas. i'm fine with using regedit.

i've attached the hjt log from when i rebooted a few minutes ago. (date and time are in the file name, not that it matters, but i i'll be able to review them and compare them if need be.)

please help me get this crap off my system.
thanks for your help...

What HJT-log?

Without an indication WHERE you found those websites, your info is useless.

sorry, forgot the attachment

i just ran hjt a few minutes ago after i ran the apropos fix. logs are attached.

in the previous response, i simply listed that spyware doctor had found that stuff. i didn't notice anything before, but i will look again to see if it gives details about where the files are. i figured it might give you more info on what exactly we're dealing with here.
thanks a lot.

Apart from this
O23 - Service: IBM PSA Access Driver Control (PsaSrv) - Unknown owner - C:\WINDOWS\system32\PsaSrv.exe (file missing)

the log is clean (if you overlook that crap-junk from AOL and Symantec...)

ok, how do i fix that one?

i checked it before and it came back. i'll try it again now that i haven't had any popups for a little while. hopefully everything is all better. i'll get back to you if it doesn't work this time.
thanks for your help and take care.
