I am using windows xp and have run adaware, spybot, yahoo antispy, superantispyware, and avast antivirus. Nothing has helped remove these popups from internet explorer that say url.adtrgt.com.

Hello dibbee,

Did you run the scans in Safe Mode?

Do you have Service Pack 1 or Service Pack 2 installed?
