ive been scanning my computer constantly trying to get rid of the adware and spyware. Ad aware and Spybot don't fidn anything. But I scanned with the free pestpatrol and it came up with tons of stuff. It found that I had three main things: PeopleOnPage form Apropos Media, ISpyNow, and ClientMan, but it does not remove them because its free. Spybot has found peopleonpage and says it removes it but it always shows up again. It also finds ClientMan but can't completely remove it. I was surfing the internet and I walked off for about 20 min and when I returned I moved to another site and immediately I got around 50 blank pop ups that said it couldnt be loaded. When I first open Internet Explorer I get several pop ups that load and several that say document.write('SetupTI();'); document.write(''); document.write(''); document.write(''); document.write('function SetupTI(){'); document.write('if (typeof(setup.GetDllVer)!= "undefined"){}'); document.write('}');. I also get those do you want to install windows when that pop up comes up. Please help me! thanks

I would begin by making sure Adaware and Spybot are updated. I would go to http://www.spywareinfo.com/ and get cws shredder, and see what other program you might need. Their forum is one of the best places to post a "hijachthis" log should you need to use it to resolve your problems. Then I would empty the temp internet files and off line content file and turn system restore off if you have it turned on. Then restart the computer and during the start sequence enter the safe mode(usually tapping/holding down the F8 key, some computers use F2 or anothe F key). When you get into the safe mode run all your scans, then restart the computer, and see if the system is clean. If it is clean you can turn suystem restore back on if you like using it.

Do you have a firewall in place? cause if not, you can run all the anti-syp-ad-crap-ware you have, get a perfectly clean system, and then immediately get re-infected. Over and over and over.
