Pop Up help

[nymph4]

I have my Pop Up turned on and when I go to Google.com and do a search for something and hit Search it brings back all I need.

But then my Pop Up Blocker Bar drops down under the Internet Address Bar. And it tell me that this Site is Blocked.

OK I get this but then all of these ads start Poping Up.

So if it is working why is all of these adss comeing up after the Pop Up Blocker comes down and tells me it is Blocking??

Adware/Spyware infection?

[nymph4]

I use PC Tools for my Anti Virus program and it has Spyware DR with it.

When I run it it finds 4. Viruses and I get rid of them but they are still in my MSCONFIG startup List and I can not keep them out of the MSCONFIG startup list.

I ram it again in Salf Mode and it found the same 4. Viruses and I got rid of them but they still come back.

They make the My Document Folder open on startup and make a Lot Lot Lot of Pop Ups hapen.

So it is some kind of Ad Aware I think.

Is there a free Program that I can try to hel me

If they keep coming back then PCTools isn't getting rid of them...
Travel to our Virus and Spyware section and read the instructions at the top of the page for posting your logs.

next time turn off system restore FIRST, then clean up in safe mode, then remember to turn system restore back on when booting back to normal mode...see if that helps...Good Luck

I think I found what keeps going back into my  msconfig startup List.

FHAAF
and it says it is in
c:\program files\uninstall information\fhaaf.exe

SVCHOST
And it says it is in
c:\program files\windows\inf\svchost.exe

If I go directly to these folders can I just Delete the Item by hand and that will be that???

I turned off System Restore Point and whent into Safe Mode and did a Scan.

It still finds the ssame 4 things and says it is getting rid of them. and NOTHING.

Anyone???

in safe mode scan with the following:

AdAware, Spybot, and a good antivirus(avast/whatever)...after all cleaned up do
a Hijack this and post results for people to check...

then boot back to normal mode and run the 3 I mentioned again..

Good Luck

nymph there is very little info on fhaaf.exe...
svchost is a normal Windows process.
You need to follow the advice i gave you above if you want this fixed.

[nymph4]

I tryed Spybot and it finds 190 Infections but when I got to remove them it asks me to Register the program.

And when I do it tell me I have to buy it to rid my self of the Infactions??

The same thing with Adaware

[patio]

Ok ignore me....
I'm not the one that's infected.

[nymph4]

OK I tryed Spybot and it wont work unless I buy it.

And Adaware will not even start because A  Modual at location  and then a string of numbers and letters.
Now what??
