    PROBLEM= I have a small box in my registry that consists of the colors in the subject line. I have no idea what it is but several ads have popped up asking if I want to remove spywar/malware. I can right and left click on it and it never happens.

    QUESTION=What else can I do to get rid of the annoying icon thus ending the terrible pop ups?
    COMMENT=You guys have helped me in the past and I appreciate it greatly.
    WHAT I'VE DONE= I've run Spybot S&D and I have AVG 8.0.


    You have helped in the past and it was really appreciated. Any help on this would be huge. Thanks...Mdub

    Please follow the instructions in the below link and attach the requested logs when you finish these instructions.


    • If something does not run, write down the info to explain to us later but keep on going.
    • Do not assume that because one step does not work that they all will not.
    Notes:
    1. If you run into problems trying to run theREAD & RUN ME or any of the scans in normal boot mode. You can run steps in safe boot mode but make sure you tell us what you did later when you post logs. See the below if you do not know how to boot in safe mode:
    2. If you have problems downloading on the problem PC, download the tools on another PC and burn to a CD. Then copy them to the problem PC. You will have to skip getting updates if (and only if) your internet connection does not work. Yes you could use a flash drive too but flash drives are writeable and infections can spread to them.
