Thanks in advance.
Problem:
Continual Popups in Internet Explorer. Have installed Firefox now and the popups continue in the background in Internet Explorer while Firefox still runs in the foreground.
Have followed your links and performed most of the tasks you mention. Had some problems with a few of the exe files you suggested running. Here is a brief account of the findings. I have also attached the HijackThis file (latest version).
Ran TrendMicro, Kaspersky and Ewido with no errors.
Followed your "websearch-removal.txt" procedures:
Rebooted in Safe Mode
"show all files and folders" - done
SmitFraudfix - nothing found
Look2me - wouldn't reload after prompt so left it
AboutBuster - nothing found (although I got a run time error)
CWShredder - nothing found
Vundofix - nothing found
Adaware - got a runtime 9.0 service Pack 1 error - tried Windows update as it suggested, but nothing happened
Spybot - nothing found
Rebooted again in Safe Mode and ran HijackThis
Saved the file and attached h/w
I didn't do any more because I didn't want to make any errors. Your suggestions looked quite involved and I was scared what damage I could do. Hope that's ok.
Again, thanks for looking and I await your advice.
