My computer's been infected since Jan. 1 (happy new year, right?), and searching around for fixes led me to techspot.
Random popups when not online, or on webpages that shouldn't have popups started occurring, mostly from sagipsul. Before the attacks happened, I had AVG and AdAware free versions on my computer (albeit outdated). Installing the most recent versions and multiple scans with both failed to fix the problems, so I discovered + followed the 8-step virus removal thread. Logs are attached.
Things are looking MUCH better since following the instructions, and I haven't gotten popups every few minutes since completing them. Still, I want to be sure I've got everything cleared up, so please let me know if there is anything else I need to do or be aware of.
Thanks a bunch!
[edit] Oh, by the way, of the list of recommended anti-virus and firewall programs in the 8-steps, I installed Avast! and Comodo.
