    Hi, i've rencently been getting random popups when im not even on the internet. When i wake up in the morning litterly 15 or more popups fill the screen and it slows down my computer. I've ran Ad-aware, microsoft antispyware, and spybot but nothing can stop them. I really need some help with these so my computer can get back to normal speed agian.

    Welcome to MG's!

    Please follow our standard cleaning procedures which are necessary and required for us to provide you support. Also there are steps included for installing, running, and posting HijackThis logs as attachments.

    - 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.

    - 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.


    After doing ALL of the above you still have a problem make sure you have booted to normal mode and run the steps in the below link to properly use HijackThis and attach a log:

    You must run ALL the steps in the READ & RUN ME. You have not. Please follow them all. You did none of step 6 and did not attach the logs from it and you did not follow step 7 and as a result have HijackThis installed incorrectly.

    Did you install and run Spybot?

    And yes plenty showed up. I can see a SmitFraud infection already. After doing ALL of the above there is a link in the Special Removal Procedures sticky (mentioned in the READ ME) for fixing SmitFraud:

    SpywareStrike, Smitfraud, SpySheriff, SpyAxe & PSGuard Removal
