Default [Pending] I am drowning in Pop-Ups and nothing is working....

I recently removed a program from my computer called AVG because I felt it popped up too often and it was a distraction, well the joke is on me now as I am being bombarded with pop-ups every 20 seconds or so in groups of three at a time. Most of them have a microsoft internet explorer heading and do not show a web address. This has been going on now for 2 days. I have tried Ad-Aware, Norton Antivirus, Spybot and currently using a spydoctor scan. Nothing seems to be helping this. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Welcome to pc Helpforums

Can you donwload hijack this from my signature down below sav it to your documents and click scan and save log, then copy the entire log and place it back here. We will get rid of all the nasties.

I will move this topic to the correct forum!

I went to hijakthis and downloaded spydoctor before I registered here, it was actually running while posting on here. It had been running for a very long time and I stopped it when you told me to go to hijakthis and download their program, completely not realizing it was the same program. Anyway, I am running it again. When I recieve the list of alerts I should post them on here?? Please let me know and thanks for your help.

Merlin meant that you should run Hijackthis itself and post a log from it.


Hijackthis

Select the top option "scan and safe a log" and post the contents of that log here.


PS; i don't see Spydocter anywhere on the hijackthis site...

Since spydoctor is currently running/scanning, when I attempt to open the hijackthis.exe file from my documents it prevents it. Should I stop spydoctor and re-attempt opening the hijack.exe?

You can let spydocter finnish first but you should be able to run both at the same time..


Just to be sure , where did you download spydocter and hijackthis from?
