Problems wit CiD pop ups

[commander208]

Hi - Having been plagued with the above for the last few weeks I have spent most of today following the advice contained in previous threads on this subject together with carrying out the detailed directions contained in your "Viruses/Spyware/Malware, preliminary removal instructions" thread without success. Despite running AVG Anti-Virus, AVG Anti-Spyware and Spybot S & D I still find these annoying pop-ups appearing at random intervals whilst browsing with I.E. 7 Any further help or advice you can provide would be most welcome. I have attached the various logs that I think you require t see and would advise that the AVG Anti-rootkit scan reports that no rootkits were found.

Hi Howard - So far, so good! Your directions appear to have worked and I am grateful to you for your help. I have posted a fresh HJT log as requested. Thanks again.

Your HJT log is now clean.

Turn off system restore.(XP/ME only) See how HERE.

Now, turn system restore back on. This will have deleted all your old restore points and any nasties that are in them. It will also have created a new, clean restore point.

If you have any further virus/spyware problems, please post in this thread.

Regards Howard
