Download Spybot Search & Destroy and run it. Make sure it gets updated at the start.

You can download HijackThis, too. You can get it off download.com. You'll have to post your log to a virus forum to find out exactly what to delete, though.

You've obviously got some adware. I recommend posting a hijackthislog somewhere... I'd also like a look at it via PM, if you please.

You may also want to consider using a different browser in tandem with Spybot.

I'd rather recommend that Mindfreak doesn't use the internet on his computer at all, until this gets fixed up. Using another browser while your computer is infected can be a dangerous thing.

I hate those pop-ups.  They're damn fun, but it takes forever to stop them

I would...but...I would have to be administrator...and the administrator forgot the password...(  ) so...I have to wait 72 hours for the password to reset...

Thank you!!!  I'm happy somebody besides me noticed!

You are aware I was talking about that specific pop-up right?

[Mindfreak]
