2. wow, all these backup files appeared on my desktop?

should I delete them?

[Goldmund]

4. You mean, after you ran HijackThis?

And how do you know they're backup files?

[Demonaut]

5. they say "backup", and yes they appeared after I ran hijackthis

6. I see

I think it probably asked you where to save the files, and you picked Desktop. Either way, just to be sure, instead of deleting them make a new folder on your drive and move them there, since you definitely don't want them on your desktop.

Did HijackThis help?

8. no unfortunately, the nasty popup seems to be still here

thanks though :)

3. TrendMicro will clean it out.

You've been hijacked or worse.

Go to www.trendmicro.com and get a free online scan.

7. Try upgrading your Spybot and Ad-Aware also

Not checking for updates, but going to the websites and downloading newer versions. I did so and found more than a hundred things--with each--that were hiding in my PC.

9. You Might Consider A Different Browser

Most of the stuff out there seems to have an affinity for IE.

Mozilla's Firefox is smaller, faster, customizable out the whazoo, has a matching mail program (Thunderbird) that compares to Outlook and I've never had a pop-up ad on Firefox yet.

Even Will Pitt switched today.
