Internal Popups

Somehow an internal program has been installed into my
computer, so when I turn on my computer, popups start
immediately. I downloaded Zone Alarm and Ad Aware, but
they haven't been successful in closing this hole in
IE6.0. I am baffled at how this could have happened and
that I have not been able to find a fix yet. Anyone got
any ideas? For your info, I am running XP and hooked to
a cable modem.

Download the latest AdAware definition table and try again.

If all fails then:

Go to http://www.spywareinfo.com/downloads.php#det
Download "Hijack This!" [freeware] or download direct (below):
http://www.merijn.org/files/hijackthis.zip

If you get a 404 error or Access denied, try:
http://216.180.252.218/~spywareinfo.com/downloads/tools/hijackthis.zip

Unzip, double-click "HijackThis.exe" and Press "Scan".

When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a "Save Log"
button.
Click: "Save Log" (generates "hijackthis.log")

Next, HijackThis | Config [button] | Misc Tools [button]
Click: Generate StartupList log [button] (generates "startuplist.txt")

Next, go to the below location:

Sign in, then copy and paste both files in your message.
