Actulice is a new variant of WINPUP spyware,or by some virus companies a trojan.Here is how to manualy remove the pest.Winpup manual removal:
Kill processes:search for these files.
pup.exe, 20444887.exe, 23777407.exe, 24065798.exe, 25199526.exe, 27032107.exe, 4026430.exe, 61692446.exe, 64075869.exe, 6904238.exe, 73934572.exe, 75082033.exe, 77946108.exe, 8439272.exe, 92135256.exe, 96062868.exe, winpup.exe, msdmodw.exe, sratelcm.exe, stoesp.exe, 23058718.exe, cmpi.exe, stimem.exe, syscm.exe, trojan.win32.startpage.ae.exe, winpup32.exeDelete registry values:click start,then run,then type in regedit,then ok.When in registry press (ctrl key)and (F) key at the same time,and then search for these keys.
'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ software \ microsoft \ windows \ currentversion \ explorer \ pup'
'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ software \ microsoft \ windows \ currentversion \ unasauthr'
'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ software \ microsoft \ windows \ currentversion \ undhcpv'
'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ software \ microsoft \ windows \ currentversion \ unsvidc32m'
Delete files:

This file will generate other file names called winpup32.exe, winpup.exe and random.exe. Winpup renames itself each time the process is started, making it both hard to find and remove.
Today's subliminal thought is: 'Calm down ... it's only ones and zeros.'

Have tried the above but still getting the ModF pop up. Have tried spybot and ad-adware but none have been successful. Anything else I could try?
