Hi! First of all I would like to introduce myself. My name is Mike and I'm here with a problem regarding my computer, Window XP. About a month or two ago I've started getting pop-ups (right after my computer had just recovered from a virus). Until recently the pop-ups were just mildly irritating. Since then the pop-ups have increase quite noticably. There are two types of pop-ups I've seen. One type of pop-ups is the broad types, commercial of casinos, wallpapers, and a few other things. Then there is the antivirus/computer alert pop-ups, alerting me that my computer was at risk and asking me to download and buy software to protect my computer.
Ok, aside from pop-ups, very recently I had a hijack attempt on my computer and well that gave me a real fright. Luckily my spyware software stopped it from happening. Also very recently, my web searches started being diverted to other sites relating and sometimes unrelating to my searches. I found this to be alot more annoying than pop-ups. To try and solve my problems, I have brought a couple of antispyware softwares (webroot spy sweeper & etrust pest patrol). Both of these I've brought after intensive researched and recommendations, however, even with all the good remarks I found their usefulness to be minimal. Alongside these two products I have Ad-Aware SE Personal, ediwo antimalware, and No Ads. All of these online helps were much appreciated but still doesnt resolve my computer issues. So I have no where else to turn to but here...
I would so much appreciate it if you would help me...I am really desperate. I have attached a HijackThis to the thread. Thank You! Mike
