Shit, i think i clicked Yes to installing some spyware while browsing for porn and now my computer is infested with pop-up opening, browser altering spyware. I ran some adware removing utility but it can't remove ome files which are in use. Of course they are in use, i keep seeing a popup every 3 minutes. Removing those files maualy doesn't work either.
Anyone knows how to remove this shit?

that's what id id, but a file cannot be deleated if its' being used by the computer so i'm trying to figure out how to prevent those files being used on startup so that i can delete that shit... btw i'm on WinXp.

An updated Antivirus must do the job ...
Otherwise, backup and format C:
Dont forget to update Adaware, they have update 3, 4 times a weeks.
Spywares and Spam are a plague!
