    Let's start with this:
    Rescan with RogueKiller and fix these items:
    Code:

    Then rescan with Hitman and remove all it finds.

    Reboot and rescan with both RogueKiller and Hitman and attach those new logs as well.

    Let me know how things are running now.

    I am a bit unsure what to do exactly with roguekiller and dont want to make things worse,fixed what it came up with.
    Hitman came up with some adware that i deleted,it also brings up a program called op-com that i use as part of a diagnostic tool for my car,i dont really want to delete that.
    still getting pop ups,logs attached

    [​IMG] Please download Junkware Removal Tool to your desktop.

    • Shut down your protection software now to avoid potential conflicts.
    • Run the tool by double-clicking it. If you are using Windows Vista or Seven, right-mouse click it and select Run as Administrator.
    • The tool will open and start scanning your system.
    • Please be patient as this can take a while to complete depending on your system's specifications.
    • On completion, a log (JRT.txt) is saved to your desktop and will automatically open.
    • Attach JRT.txt to your next message.


    Have you tried installing a pop-up blocker for your browser?

    If you are not having any other malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:
    1. We recommend you keep Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for scanning/removal of malware. You can uninstall RogueKiller and HitManPro.
    2. Go back to step 4 of the READ ME and renable your Disk Emulation software with Defogger if you had disabled it.
    3. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
    4. If running Vista or Win 7, it is time to make sure you have reenabled UAC by double clicking on the C:\MGtools\enableUAC.reg file and allowing it to be added to the registry.
    5. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis.
    6. Goto the C:\MGtools folder and find the MGclean.bat file. Double click on this file to run this cleanup program that will remove files and folders
      related to MGtools and some other items from our cleaning procedures.
    7. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link
