Close all applications and browser windows before you click "fix checked".

Ok I have done what you said and deleted all 3 of them...as well as downloading Adaware 6 , updating and thoroughly scanning my system.

Even though I have deleted over 90 adware/spyware components, i am still getting these pop ups .......

 

[Torx]

Bump...please advise on this.... I am getting constant popups

 

[Torx]

These are what I am getting...soon as i boot up and they pop up periodically. I have went into Run- Msconfig and looked in startup and theres nothing curious there....i keep that pretty cleaned out

Download Spybot http://tomcoyote.org/SPYBOT/index1.php

Make sure to follow the instructions for updates prior to running the scan.

Click on "Search For updates" After the search has completed, the available Updates will be listed. Click "Download updates." The Updates will self install. The screen will change and the program will come back and be ready to use.

Sometimes the default Download Location will produce an Error. If that happens, look in the right panel. There you will find a small arrow next to the name of the current Download site. Click on it for a list of alternate sites. One of those should be able to retrieve the files you have selected.

Scan and reboot.

If that doesn't do it, post a new log.

I ran Spybot last night, but i am at work atm but i will run a new scan when i get off of work and post it here, I spoke to a tech guy here at my work but he said that i might need to go into my registry and find it and delete it.

Thanks for replying btw

 

[cybertech]

It would be interesting to see what's in
HKLM, SW, Microsoft, windows, current version, run & runonce

 

[Torx]

I will update this once i get home from work, i am going to search my registry and see if i can find and destroy this manually ....and rerun ad-aware about 5 more times .... the guy up at my work was telling me that you can run the same settings numerous times nad keep finding adware on your computer and will eventualy get all of it
