Kinda of ironic, don’t you think? Spyware popping up ads to removing itself. :huh: :blink: :blink:

Anyways give Microsoft AntiSpyware a shot.

is it a popup in an internet explorer window or does it say messenger service on it?

if internet explorer then do spyware scans with a spyware scanner program.

if it's messenger service ones then go to start>run>services.msc>find messenger and double click>set startup type to disabled, and click the stop button then apply settings.

Try Adaware and X-Cleaner. Adaware is free but X-Cleaner isn't, although there is a free version you can use that catches a lot of stuff - I've had it spot a couple of things Spybot, Adaware and the MS one all missed.

I think I got it. PC ran all night and no pop ups when I got up this morning. I installed a program called giants antispy that would ID the problem. The trouble giants would not get rid of it Permanently.

It was 2 keys in the registry called IST. I had to manualy get rid of it working in safe mode. Every time giants did it or I did it in normal windows mode it would come back within minuates...

That was one of the hardest spywares I every had to get rid of.

The shell may look dutch (don't know if you can set it to english?) but it's a great package!

http://www.hitmanpro.nl/

Hitman Pro is an all-in-one solution against spyware, it uses multiple well known anti-spyware programs like:

Ad-Aware SE 6.2
Webroot SpySweeper 3
Spybot Search & Destroy 1.3
SpywareBlaster 3.2
McAfee Stinger

use babelfish if you can't read dutch :P
