A hidden popup

[Tina]

Everytime I close down IE after using it, it doesn't
matter how long I have, a popup shows up. It's never the
same ad in the popup but just before it becomes one I can
see the address www.atogue.com. I have 2 spyware programs
and neither is finding out where this ad is coming from.
I've gone to the site and I think it logs down IP
address's so don't go! I need help, I want to get rid of
this popup that seems to be connected to IE and is in my
computer somewhere. I'm running Windows ME and have IE6.0

Tina,
Since you don't name the spyware removal programs you used, try this:

Try the parasite removal programs again, in this order.

Download and run Run CWShredder from
http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/downloads.html

Then download, install, *update* and run both of these programs:
Ad-aware from http://www.lavasoft.de/software/adaware/
Spybot from http://security.kolla.de/ (Remove items listed in red-others are
optional.)
Both programs should be updated after installation- before use.

If these programs don't remove the malware, HijackThis should be used to
post a log to the appropriate forum at one of these sites.

The cause is this parasite.
