hi all

I am livid right now!

my cousin has installed something that has caused me problems
these pop up windows keep coming up through internet explorer

so i installed ad aware and ran a scan
it found something like 400 files and deleted them that was yesterday

today i am noticing the same problem
I looked in system restore and looks like all the restoration points have been deleted!
I couldnt even find the control panel but since ad aware got rid of these files I can.

I am thinking that maybe these things are returning to cause me a problem.
I just deleted internet explorer and so far so good
what i want is some advice

what freeware software can i use except adaware to get rid of this problem?

my internet is so slow this morning i hope its nothing to do with this problem. :(
any help appreciated thanks psd99
 
Try both an AV and AS scan - Windows Defender is actually pretty good (just make sure the definitions are updated).

If that fails you might need to post a HJT log here :)
 
internet has speeded up im not sure if it's part of the problem
still getting annoying pop ups atm
 
cheers

ill make sure im disconnected from internet too
just looked in my add/remove programs
didnt see much but just unistalled something critical for windows to work, I keep getting this message that shuts down the pc something to do with system 32 services.exe

but i think this is because i unistalled something so just tried system restore
hopefully itll do it

then ill run this program
