Some problems

In safe mode, everything appears ok, but when i reboot and run spybot some spyware is still on my computer.

Avenue A, INC.
DoubleClick
MediaPlex

I'm using mozilla, Kerio personal firewall, asquared, AVG, spywareblaster, spywareguard, and google pop-up blocker.

1. I noticed the problem when my KERIO firewall free trial ran out. The firewall now doesn't provide the full protection, it once did.

2. The mozilla pop-up blocker wasn't working 100%, so installed the google pop-up blocker. And still, some pop-ups are still getting through.

Thanks-

I believe you are just referring to some cookies. Am I right? If so, it is not spyware and it is not a problem. It's just cookies that will always occur unless you never do any surfing. You could also block ALL cookies but that will cause you problems with accessing many websites.

Install a new firewall, if necessary. See some of the ones here: How to Protect yourself from malware! But unless you buy one, you never get full capabilities that they can offer.

Perhaps your popups are just due to: C:\Program Files\Messenger\msmsgs.exe being installed and running. You can use the below to disable it:

Disable/Remove Windows Messenger

You should not need Google popup blocker if you are using Firefox. I would uninstall it. But that's your choice if you really think it is necessary and helping.
