    I've followed all the directions under Read & Run Me First and am still having issues with popups.
    Could you please look at my hijackthis file?

    Many thanks,
    Bryn

    Do not copy and paste logs into your post, always include them as attachments.

    Your HijackThis log is clean. What type of pop-ups are you getting?

    Sorry about that---I couldn't figure out how to attach my log---really I'm usually not this much of a noob...but...oh well. I now see the attachment stuff waaay down at the bottom.
    Anyway. My popups are ... World's Largest Casino and Poker Room .... Online suppliers...

    I don't know what they're called. But they're pernicious.

    If you have suggestions, I'd really appreciate them.

    Thanks,
    Bryn

    I'm getting all sorts of pop ups...including ones that claim to offer spyware scanning. Ugh!
    Help!

    BTW---when I run bitdefender it says that I have a virus in c:\program files\AIM\sysfiles\WxBug.EXE=>wise0008
    Bitdefender says it can't clean it off. Norton doesn't even recognize it.

    Please reinstall HijackThis to C:\HJT.

    Follow the directions in the below thread:
    Running Ewido Security Suite


    Post a fresh HijackThis log as an ATTACHMENT as well as the Ewido log.

    That should just about do it. How is your system running?
