Hi
Boot into SAFE MODE . go to START>RUN . Then type in MSCONFIG . Go to the START UP tab. Uncheck EVERYTHING. Check the APPLY button then OK. Reboot back into safe mode. Run ADWARE then SPYBOT again. I find the running AVG 7 free edtion from DOS is very effective . Hope this helps . Also I like the Google Toolbar as an effective popup blocker. Hope this helps.

Go into Safe mode, run disk cleanup, then scandisk and finally run defrag.

Hi kchaopao
Concerning admanctl, adman keep, these are started from C:\Program Files\Admanager Controller. Go to Start>Settings>Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs and highlight Admanager if its there and click remove. Then open Windows Explorer and find the Admanager Controller folder. Delete this folder and the pop ups should stop.
Go to this site and under the try it column download and run Spy Sweeper and let it clean everything it finds.
Please post back with the results of the Spy Sweeper scan.

I will do all the above tonight. Also if I post a HJT log will you be able to look it over? I have posted in the forum for HJT logs but to date no one has seen it.
Thank You very much and I will get back to you.
