I'm getting all sorts of popups launching in IE whenever I do anything associated with the internet. I don't even use IE, I use firefox but IE keeps launching time after time with spamvertisements. I ran HJT and looked through the files... I cannot however delete some of the files I'm suspecting are culprit cause they are in use. Tried the HJT deletion util and no luck. Killbox, nada. It won't even allow killbox to reboot my system, it gives me a message that it's been stopped by an .,..
Marrok , I am also a beginner at this, I think that Adaware may be part of the problem. Have you tried removing all the software that is supposed to help like spybot S&D, Kilbox, Adaware, etc. Then reload spybot S&D and allow it to do its work. Have you tried a firewall like ZoneAlarm? it will tell you what is accessing your system and you can allow or disallow it. Goodluck.
