hijacked internet

[lisa]

I thought I posted this earlier but for the life of me I
cant fine it, so here it goes again.

Every time I open up Internet explorer an add pops up for
some dating service or something like that. I have tried
the following.

1. Deleted temp files, cookies, internet programs etc
2. Ran Ad Aware and removed all
3. Ran Spybot and removed all
4. Ran Easy Cleaner and another registry cleaner

I still have the problem, can anyone give me a few
suggestions.

Thanks

Go to http://www.grc.com/default.htm .. download all three 'musketeers' and
run them.. the goal is to 'disable' each service.. follow the instructions
for each one.. if you are successful, you will have blocked three ways that
unsolicited stuff finds its way to a computer.. your popup ads will stop..

Hi

Have the two Registry 'cleaners' you have run got 'undo' options? If so try
those. They may have deleted something that shouldn't have been deleted!!

Try here as well:

CWShredder - http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/downloads.html

Also see the following link:

Use Startup Control Panel utility to prevent any unwanted program to run.

Get version 1.3 of Spybot from
http://download.com.com/3000-2144-10122137.html?
part=104443&subj=dlpage&tag=button and get CWShredder
from http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/cwschronicles.html

I know the ads you are talking about.
