I've tried it all .... but not really.

I say not really, because obviously if I tried everything, my problem would be fixed.

Usually, I never have a problem with spyware. I have Webroot's Spy Sweeper always running as my real-time agent. I'm pretty good about running Lavasoft's Adaware, every other day or so. Occasionally I'll even run Spybot.

Lately though (as in the past 5-7 days), and this is a problem I've never experienced, I get an IE popup, about ever 5-10 minutes. Luckilly, my script blocking software usually blocks it, but the popup still shows.

So, I did the usual. Went to safe mode, shut off system restore, ran Adaware about 3 times, all it found was the MRU list, that it finds everytime (I have no idea what that is, maybe I should google it?). Oh, and it finds a tracking cookie everytime. Nothing dangerous though.

So, my next step was to run Trend Micro's online scan. Doing so, it found two pretty bad files.

- Here is one.
- Here is the other.

After seeing that, I read around and figured out that I should probably remove MS Java, which I did.

I restarted, and for the next hour or so, everything seemed fine. But no, I got home from class, and there sat a nice IE popup, pointing to:

www9.paypopup.com/deskwizz/deskwizz.htm

So.. I'm wondering. Could I have software running that is causing these popups? The only programs that run 24/7 on my machine are:

- Kaspersky
- Utorrent (my torrent client)
- AIM
- Gmail Notifier (notifies me of my mail at my gmail address)
- Daemon Tools
- Spy Sweeper
- Logmein (software that allows my comp to be remotely accessed)

And that's it.

Here's my Hijack log , if it helps. (I really need to learn how to analyze that log myself, and go from there. This is the first time I've ever made a log though, since spyware has never been a problem before.)

Thanks in advance guys.
