IE popups even though I am using Firefox.

My hijackthis log file is attached. I ran most of the programs here, but my computer likes to shut down in the middle of adaware running.

Thanks.

I've done the instructions (installing sp2 later tonight), here's a new hijackthis log file. thanks!

 

[erinmiran]

Things were good for a few hours, then my computer spontaneously restarted and when it booted back up, there was a "this system has recovered from a serious error"

I tried to go back to the restore point I made just after I got rid of all that crap, but it wouldn't let me. Please help. :/

Hello and welcome to Techspot.

It is possible that your restarting problem is caused by a ram problem, or some other issue.

Go HERE and follow the instructions.

If that doesn`t help. zip 5 or 6 minidumps together, and attach them here.
