    I am new to this forum. Last week I downloaded some freeware utility. Shortly after that I started getting pop-up ads that overtook my machine. Followed your instructions. I am not sure if the programs removed the offending malware or not. Please take a look at my logs and let me know. I will attach the mglogs.zip file on a subsequent message. Thanks!

    Just a few items to deal with.

    Run thisDisable/Remove Windows Messenger to remove Windows Messenger. Do not confuse Windows Messenger with MSN Messenger because they are not the same. Windows Messenger is a frequent cause of popups.


    Download and install:
    Java Runtime 6

    Please disable all anti-virus and anti-spyware programs while we do the following:

    Run C:\MGtools\analyse.exe by double clicking on it(Note: if using Vista, don't double click, use right click and select Run As Administrator). This is really HijackThis (select Do a system scan only) and select the following lines but DO NOT CLICK FIX until you exit all browser sessions including the one you are reading in right now:
    After clicking Fix, exit HJT.

    Now Copy the bold text below to notepad. Save it as fixME.reg to your desktop. Be sure the "Save as" type is set to "all files" Once you have saved it double click it and allow it to merge with the registry.
    Tell me if you are having any other malware problems.
