[quote quote="tobacco_slammers":24ambdp6]Still not managed to remove the 3 files but I now have nothing popping up thanks to a free program called popgun if anyone is interested.
I heard somewhere turning of system restore to do something may remove these files. Can anyone shed any light on this?[/quote:24ambdp6]
Ill start by saying im no IT pro, but my honeymoon period with the internet and
online porn gave me some practice at removing nasties
Yes, system restore can potentially be a home for nasties. If your trying turning it off, see if you can clear all previous restore points as well.
If your getting pop ups, its possible it is a naughty activeX control installed.
Not sure about Vista, but in XP go

Disable all of them to see if this helps the problem.
I had a ‘Myway Search’ installed which was causing me issues.
I have no idea how to remove it but disabling it solved my problems.
