Can't stop popups, have i tried everything?

[Guest]

I have tried everything i know of to get rid of pop ups.
My privacy is set high, I have google toolbar to block, I
have both adaware and spybot search and destroy, yet I
have checked add and remove programs and publisher lists
for anything suspicious, yet I still get an average of
one popup per webpage I visit. everytime i run spybot
several problems are recognized. Does anyone have any
suggestions on what I can do?

Just a guess ... but delete your cache and cookies as

Is this one of the things you know?
Dealing with Unwanted Malware, Parasites, Toolbars and Search Engines
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm

Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other
won't. Also, each needs to be updated with the program's update function
before every use, even when just downloaded. There's also a lot more to do
than just those two programs. CWShredder is also available here:

**Post your HijackThis log to
http://forums.spywareinfo.com/ or the Spyware forum at
http://forum.aumha.org/ for expert analysis, not here.**
Alternative download pages for Ad-Aware, Spybot, HijackThis and CWShredder
may be found on this page:
http://aumha.org/a/parasite.htm.
If trying everything at that site does not fix the problem please post back
in the same thread.

ok, I have now tried all the suggestions on the pages you
supplied, I am currently waiting for a log analysis from
aumha forum where i posted hijack this log, hopefully
that will be the key because despite everything else i am
still getting popups, thanks for your suggestions, if
the log doesn't work out i will post again, just wanted
to say thanks for your help so far though.

I should have taken my nap sooner.
You seem to have a problem with repeated hijackware infestations. Make sure
that AdAware and Spybot S & D are updated with their update functions before
each use.
Get Spyware Blaster:
