What is uipopuphidden?

Shutting down uipopuphidden window appears at shutdown;not much on the net
about this. Is this related to XP SP2 and popup blockers?

No, it's the latest about:Blank hijacker variant.

Dealing with Trojans & Hijackware

A. Trojans

1. Check in at Windows Update and install all critical updates & reboot.

2. Download and run Stinger (http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/); then...

3. Update your virus definitions, enable Show Hidden Files
(http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPOR...002092715262339)
and then run a full system scan in Safe Mode
(http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPOR...001052409420406)
with nothing else running in background. Note the files identified and
removed then find the corresponding page for the file at your AV maker's
online support pages (e.g.,
http://securityresponse.symantec.co...nfavorites.html)
and follow *all* Removal steps, including editing the Registry if directed.

WinXP Only (WinME similar): If this scan finds anything, create a new
Restore Point then:

Disk Cleanup > More options > Delete all but the most recent Restore
Point.

B. Hijackware

Run these tools in the following order with nothing else running in
background:

1. CWShredder v1.59.1 (no updates available currently; fix all found)

2. Ad-Aware SE (reconfigure per Post #2 in
http://aumha.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5877; fix all found)

3. Spybot (RTFM but generally fix everything in red)

Important: You must seek updates for Ad-Aware, Spybot, etc., before each and
every use, even "right out of the box". But even they can't catch
everything, 24/7. When all else fails, HijackThis
(http://forum.aumha.org/downloads/hijackthis.zip) is the preferred tool to
use. It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware.

Hey mate, until today i had the same problem as you, i found the program causing this thing to pop up was virgin pc guard, i have now uninstalled it and am using AVG, Comodo Firewall pro and Ad-Aware

Since deleting virgin pc guard from my PC i have not had this problem, if you have PC guard i hope this works for you, trust me i know how annoyed you must be getting with it :-)

EDIT: Wow i just realized how old this topic is ^^, so i apologize for the late reply :-D
