    My computer was running fine (except for a massive amount of pop-ups, adware, malware, etc.) but when I restarted it after installing Battle For Middle Earth II (which can't be the problem, this is the second time I've put it on) the computer won't boot up anymore. It'll get past the splash screen with the loading bar then the screen turns black it stays that way. I can goto Safe Mode but only Safe Mode w/ Networking and that's only if I hammer the Esc key to skip the setup process.

    I've run Ad-Aware, Spybot, Hijack This and have managed to permenatly delete 90% of the stuff plaguing my system but it still won't start. I've made a HiJackThis log and will post it, but I'm curious if this sounds familiar to anyone?

    Also, if this helps, Ad-Aware continually is pick up the following:
    -ABetterInternet.nail
    -Windows
    -TrackingCookies
    -MRUList
    Could the first one be the source of my problems?

    Before you post the Hijack This; Please follow the steps below:

    - Run ALL the steps in this Sticky thread READ & RUN ME FIRST Before Asking for Support

    Make sure you check version numbers and get all updates.

    - Very Important: Make sure you tell us the results from running the tutorial...was anything found? Were you unable to complete any of the scans?...Were you unable to download any of the tools?...Did you do the on-line scans as suggested? etc.


    After doing ALL of the above you still have a problem make sure you have booted to normal mode and run the steps in the below link to properly use HijackThis:
