Default Re: Adware removal

Thanks for any replies in here. I have Spysweeper now and it did remove the virtumonde adware. But I am still getting pop-ups from somewhere. Ive run everything I can think of and nothing is being detecting. Does anyone have any mroe suggestions?

My pop up blocker through Internet Explorer is set so that it blocks all pop-ups.
Ive actually got these pop-ups to happen when I am just looking in the My Computer folders. I thought that was pretty weird. One of the popups that I remember brought up a Party Poker page. Started with the real address too. Other ones had ads for Winfixer I believe.

Just an update here. I am using Mozilla Firefox now instead of Internet Explorer and the pop-ups seemed to stop. Web pages also load faster. Im not sure if it will be this way tomorrow. I hope so. I dont't mind using Firefox now but should I uninstall Explorer from my computer and try to download it again to see if the problem is from there or just scrap it all together?

Are you running the scans while in safe mode? This is key for a lot of stuff to be removed.
Also for Adaware/Spybot make sure you update your definitions before scanning.
