Try Webroot's SpySweeper, it's great.

Are these internet type pop ups or messenger service type pop up ads such as this one:

If you do in fact have the worst spyware infestation ever then the best (and easiest) solution is the ole W&R...wipe and reload.
Hope you have everything backed up.

Disable the Messenger service next time, too.

Hello!

Lets start from the beginning:

First download and install the latest SpyBot Search& Destroy and update it to the latest definitions. Then activate the immunize function in it and then run a system scan and delete every bot it finds.

Then install and use latest Ad Aware with latest definitions and run a complete system scan and delete everything it finds.

Then downlaod and install the latest Spy Sweeper version 3.2.0.150 from Webroot(this one is not free but you can find a cracked version on P2P for instance Ed2K). Update its definitions and run a complete scan and delete everything it finds.

Then run a complete system scan with your Antivirus program with latest definitions and delete everything it finds!.

Now download latest version of HijackThis and make a scan and then post a log here on the forum and I can have a look at it and tell you if you have any badys left that you should use HijackThis to remove!!.

So no dont reformat or reinstall Windows it feel much better when actually defeteing this damn crap!!:01:

If you think you have already done enough scans with antispy software then just run HijackThis and post the logg here directly!

Yes, start in safemode, and then scan with all of those programs you stated earlier. Also scan with an antivirus, and delete whatever files it tells you to/remove viruses.

Its the "Windows Messaging" service.

Right click my computer, manage, services, right click win....

Actually it might be best you download that shoot the messenger thing!
