    past week i've been getting popups like crazy.
    i cant leave my computer for 10 minutes without having around 5 coming up again and again. when i open my IE it opens savetheinfo.com/..... as my homepage. also in my add/remove program list theres this outerinfo program that i cannot seem to get rid of. I need help getting all this bullcrap stuff out of my computer. These popups demanding that i install some spyremover program and virus protection is getting very annoying. It's also taken serious speed out of the computer.

    i ask anyone with knowledge about this stuff please help me.

    thanks

    Welcome to MajorGeeks.com, please follow our standard cleaning procedures:

    http://www.majorgeeks.com/images/grenade.gif 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.
    http://www.majorgeeks.com/images/grenade.gif 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.

    http://www.majorgeeks.com/images/grenade.gifAfter doing ALL of the above and you still have a problem, make sure you have booted to normal mode and run the steps in the below thread to properly use HijackThis and attach the log:

    • Make sure you also rename HijackThis.exe as suggested in the procedures. Use analyse.exe for the new name. This is very important due to some new infections going around..
    http://www.majorgeeks.com/images/grenade.gifWhen you return to make your next post, make sure you attach the following logs and that you have run these scans in the following order too:
    • CounterSpy Log - only for Windows XP, 2K, & NT users
    • AVG Antispyware Log - ONLY IF NEEDED you were not able to run CounterSpy. - only for Windows XP, 2K, & NT users
    • Bitdefender Log - from step 6
    • Panda Scan Log - from step 6
    • runkeys.txt - the log from GetRunKey.bat

    NOTE: You can only attach 3 files in a single message so it will require that you use two messages to attach all of these logs!
