    Hello there, I was just wondering if anyones
    discovered a way to remove the new popups
    from z1.adserver.com?

    Heres the problem, about every 5 to 10 minutes I will
    receive a popup. regardless of what im doing. Upon
    closing it another will follow. Then things are quiet for a bit.
    These are slipping past Mcrosoft Antispyware, and Spybot S&D!
    Z1.Adserver.com is uaully in there about 40% of the time
    heres some others http://ads2.revenue.net/r?site_id=14146&pplacement_id=1&creative_id=209716

    Please follow standard cleanup procedures as given below:

    - Run ALL the steps in this Sticky thread READ ME FIRST BEFORE ASKING FOR SUPPORT: Basic Spyware, Trojan And Virus Removal

    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 and you still have a problem, make sure you have booted to normal mode and run the steps below:

    http://www.majorgeeks.com/images/grenade.gif Unzip the hijackthis.exe file to a folder you create named C:\Program Files\HJT

    http://www.majorgeeks.com/images/grenade.gif Do NOT run Hijack This from the Desktop, a temp folder, or a sub-folder of C:\Documents and Settings, or choose to run it directly from the ZIP file as your backups will not be safely stored.

    http://www.majorgeeks.com/images/grenade.gifBefore running HijackThis: You must close each of the following:your web browser, e-mail client, instant messenger, and programs like notepad, wordpad, MS Word etc. And any other unnecessary running programs.
