Neverending pop-ups/spyware

[JimRune]

Alright, with two computers I've checked out, even after running Ad-Aware and Crap Cleaner, these things still keep coming. Pop-ups keep coming back and the same spyware that was quarantined and/or deleted the last time is back again.

I really don't know what I'm dealing with here.

Can someone help me out?

Are they appearing after the reboot or if you try a second cleanup?

if you're running win xp turn off system restore and boot to safe mode then run your spyware and anti-virus scans and delete the files

Then follow Richeemx... you will solve most off the recurring trojans that way...

I'll try that and let you know if it works.

Thanks much to the both of you.
