Hi everyone,
I accidentally mis-clicked on a pop up and ended up installing a whole bunch of nasties. I won't go into the rant about how this wouldn't have been possible on a computer with a real operating system...
Anyhow. I got everything working again. There were a couple of viruses and a bunch of spyware installed.
I've used Adaware, Hijack This and Spybot S&D and none of them finds anything. Actually, Spybot S&D keeps finding these two things:
IGetNet
Common Hijacker
I don't think these are the cause of my problem, because Spybot shows they are "redirected host" type problems.
I remove them, but they keep coming back, even if I remove them in Safe Mode.
I'm getting a pop-up IE window every 5 minutes or so. I can't find any processes running that is causing this. It's driving me absolutely crazy.
PLEASE someone, how can I find out why IE is starting up on its own and showing me an ad. I can't figure this out...
Thanks in advance,
Jim
