    Can someone please help me.

    I am currently suffering from popups Since yesterday afternoon. Whenever i use Firefox i get popups in IE 7 every few minutes, regardless of whether it is closed, it opens itself. It used to open up certain sites, 888.com, Youtube, Moneysupermarket.com, kontraband, aol, etc. It no longer opens websites, it just has a blank page but can't seem to connect anymore. I have tried to sort this myself over the last 24 hours and i can't :(

    I have run Bitdefender, Adaware, Spybot, Spyware Blaster, AVG Spyware, i've tried several online scans and a few more obcure fixes, but i'm still plagued. I've done the Vista clean prodecure and the house cleaning faq.

    Thanks for the help guys.

    Not sure if my attachments worked so i'll reattach them. This isn't a bump.

    You can ignore this request now. I don't seem to be getting any help, so i'm going to do a fresh reboot. It's not ideal, but it seems like an easy option to an annoying problem right now.

    Whoever looked at my Combilog, thanks for taking the time to take a look, even though no one helped. I appreciate you atleast taking a look ;) so thanks for that.

    Good luck to anyone else suffering from this pest, as it is really annoying. It has destroyed my p.c for the last 3 days now and i've had enough.

    Thanks anyway guys. All the best.

    Sorry that it has taken so long to get to you. We are just extremely busy lately and only one or two of us have had time to work here. Also your last post from Yesterday, 11:06 cause you to loose your place in the queue which cost you another day of waiting time. Otherwise you would have been answered early yesterday. This is explained in the Don't Bump! It Only Hurts You!!! sticky thread.

    If you have not reinstalled yet, we can help you fix this. We get many of them each day. Just let us know and we will give you a fix.

    It's okay mate, i've already done a clean slate. Thanks for the reply though :)

    I had the option of waiting in the hope of help or a reboot. I'd already been infected for 2/3 days and it was extremely annoying so i decided to reboot.

    Whilst you lose some stuff e.g. music, i usually back up alot of stuff, so you get the benefits of a clean/fast p.c :D

    All the best.
