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
