Hi - I have windows xp and use IE 6.0. Over the past week, some sort
of malware has infected my computer, causing numerous pop-ups,
including directing me toward WinAntiSpyware. I have run Spybot and
Ad-aware with no sucess. I downloaded AVG anti-spyware and spyware
catcher which has made things slightly better but I still get popups
and both programs have significantly slowed down my computer. After
things got slightly better, I uninstalled both and things got worse so
now they are reinstalled. Occassionally my antivirus program will say
that it found win32-adware-gen but doing a complete virus scan doesn't
eliminate it. THis is my log file from hijack this.

I would be eternally grateful to anyone who can help me because from
what I've read, it's quite a tedious process to fix.
 
Google for: win32-adware-gen
Or, post your HiJack log in an appropriate HiJack forum...
