the symantec removal option requires you edit your registry. this isn't a wise choice if your not comfortable editing your registry and could cause your computer to be in worse shape than it is now.
The link below will do the same job and no registry work on your part is required.

You have a virus, I had it as well and nothing will get rid of it. It over rides your scanners so they do not detect,It also will take out your default's,sound,automatic updates. If you would like me to help you click on my name and hit me at yahoo or send me email, Look at my best answers and you will see i have been on here helping people for awhile now with this nasty bug(i got the virus from clicking on a profile @ myspace)

Download, UPDATE, and run spybot search and destroy and adaware..You will also want to do an online virus and trojan scan...Links below...
If after, you still have the problem..I would recommend going to a forum that will read your Hijack This log...Experts will help you clean your computer. I have included a link to Castle Cops Security Forum. If you do need to post a log, you will need to register with the forum. Registration and help is free.

www.grisoft.com an download a program called "ewido" it's free and should get rid of that annoying popup ... Microsoft Defender does a reasonable job on spyware also ... but Defender does require you to authenticate your copy of XP
