Lots of ad popups for ages

[maryb86]

We have been having problems with adware for so long now and have tried almost everything to get rid of them!

- They only pop up when IE is open.
-The ads have been changing - right now they're wrinkle cream, some kinda american ad and greenfield online whatever that is.
- our computer has been experiencing many problems, and we think it may be due to this adware
- We have run adaware se personal, microsoft antispyware, spybot search and destroy and xcleaner free edition so many times, but they never get rid of the ads.

Can anyone shed any light on this situation? It is extremely frustrating. Let me know if you need more info.

1. Stop using IE & try Firefox or others!
2. Backup your files FIRST, you may need to reinstall Windows (just in case anyway).
3. If you are not comfortable dealing with Windows' inner workings, I would suggest taking it to your local experts!
4. Download a copy of Hijack This, post the log here but don't do anything unless you know what to do!
5. I would also suggest you download a copy of MalWhere, it would help you ID what's running inside your task manager!
6. In the future, go download a copy of Prevx Home, it helps to stop programs from installing on your computer without your permission!

Definetly switch browser, im a firefox fan but try others like opera and give it a go. I stoped using IE, no ad or spyware is on my pc. I did a complete reinstall and installed firefox. Never again will i let IE open on my pc.

Download and start using firefox aswell as use Hijack This and post the log here. Also I would reccomend scanning your harddrive with Ewido.
