I have tried all of the spyware-virus programs and they say "0" detected but there is TONS of pop-ups (yes I use yahoos pop-up program and it is turned on. There is also an icon that constantly pops up a system performance warning -an ad to download some bogus software. WHAT DO I DO. Can My computer be saved. Any help appreciated! :)

download HijackThis and run it. It will identify your virus stuff and what's going on in your registry. You can post your results and let the experts figure it out if you're not comfortable yourself.

1. Download the tool from the link below:
http://siri.urz.free.fr/Fix/SmitfraudFix.zip
Extract all the contents of the tool on your desktop.
2. Double-click smitfraudfix.cmd
3. Select 1 and hit Enter to create a report of the infected files. The report can be found at the root of the system drive, usually at C:\rapport.txt
4. Reboot your computer in Safe Mode (before the Windows icon appears, tap the F8 key continually)
5. Double-click smitfraudfix.cmd
6. Select 2 and hit Enter to delete infect files.
7. You will be prompted: Do you want to clean the registry ? answer Y (yes) and hit Enter in order to remove the Desktop background and clean registry
keys associated with the infection.
8. The tool will now check if wininet.dll is infected. You may be prompted to replace the infected file (if found): Replace infected file ? answer Y (yes) and hit Enter to restore a clean file.
9. A reboot may be needed to finish the cleaning process. The report can be found at the root of the system drive, usually at C:\rapport.txt

Some one at work tried the downloading of some bogus anti virus software that was suppossed to be free...and now it gets pop ups everytime you log into explorer....I have run the anti virus and it cant delete it.....so until there is a fix by the anti virus companies it'll sit there.....By the way...it's a trojan.

I think that if you go into the options menu, you can turn off (allow pop-ups) This will then block all pop-ups from appearing
