some kind of adware

Hi,

I contracted something fierce from accepting a message from someone on AIM. They sent me a image link. Since then it's been mostly popups and trojans.

I followed the removal instructions, and removed some obvious things on my own with hijackthis. Everything seemed clean for a couple days, and now the popups are back. The strange thing is, scanners aren't finding anything, and my hijack this log looks clean from what I can tell. Any help would be greatly appreciated because I am completely baffled.

here is my hijackthis log and startup list.

thanks!

Hello,

Here is the winpfind logfile.

Thanks,

i think you got it! i can't tell you how much i appreciate you doing this.

the weird thing about whatever adware it was is that it was doing popups for amazon.com and other big name companies. i would think that this sort of advertising is counterproductive, but i guess some jerk out there is getting paid to generate hits.

thanks again,

erik
