Alright. I no longer know what to do. I have something on my computer. All its doing is giving me a bunch of popups and basically giving me an icon in my botton right tray that flashes and tells me that my computer has something wrong with it and if i buy either of these 3 softwares or w/e they can be used to wipe the virus/trojan out...

Ive run adaware to its fullest extent...cleaning as deeply as possible...ive run zone alarms anti virus and spyware searches and it cant get rid of it. I even got a full version of mcafee and ran that and it finds nothing...

ANY MORE IDEAS!?

YOu have a hijacker. It will be a pain in the ass to remove, but can be done. If you have access to a second computer with Internet and a Printer it will be alot eaiser though. Do a search for the program it is tring to get you to buy. You should find detailed instructions on how to remove it. It may take hours though depending on the hijacker. I know PSguard took me 3 days to get rid of completely, and Truth Cleaner took me 4 hours last time.
