    Hello. I'm asking for help in removing spyware and or a trojan on my computer that is causing me to get popups mostly from IE. These popups occur when IE is closed, cleared of all cookies, and on its highest security settings. I usually use Firefox and it frequently blocks popups but some slip by it.

    I've attached the logs of numerous scans below following instructions given.

    I know I know, I should have a firewall besides XP's and an antivirus :) I'm considering ordering Kaspersky as I've had bad experiences with Norton and McAfee. The latter as you can see in the hijack file, did not remove itself from my computer very well. I hope someone could also help with removing all traces of it.

    Thanks,
    Damien

    Re: Hijack

    Welcome to Majogeeks!

    Your scan from Spy Sweeper does not look like it fixed anything. Is it only the free trial version? What about Ewido....is it the free version or a paid version.

    Do you recognize the below?
    C:\Program Files\Alcasoft\ace.dll

    Delete the below. This is a bad way to install any programs. Always put them into their own folder. Don't put anything into the base of C:\Program Files That is what malware does!!!1
    C:\Program Files\Kill2Me.exe

    You don't need Kill2Me anyway!


    Run the below to remove Windows Messenger:

    Disable/Remove Windows Messenger

    Are you still having problems?

    Hey wow, that worked. I'm surprised because I had disabled windows messenger already. I guess it was operating in a different way and some trojan was taking advantage of it. Anyways, thanks I really appreciate your help.
