2 days ago we were alerted that a harmful file was detected. We are using Windows XP- Using AOL dial-up for internet. We have AOL's virus/syware/firewall protection. After several scans and trying to block or delete these harmful items no sucess. We are getting pop-ups all over. Internet explorer tries to open all these adds. Ones like http://www.jambottv & http://ads.k8l.info and many others. Upon start up of the computer a DOS command window opens saying file is to large to fit into memory. We down loaded registry cleaner and used it but no luck. We can still open applications and get on the internet so I think there is hope of finding this and deleting it before we have to dump our system and rebuild. Please help!
