DriveCleaner Ad ware is driving me nuts. I tried removing via another post's instructions, but I guess mine is hiding in a different folder/filename. Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Thanx,

DriveCleaner is just a corrupt program. Quite easy to remove. Just uninstall it as any other application or work through manual removal (link here).

There is a little misunderstanding here. DriveCleaner is just a program that cannot replicate. What you have is a different parasite that displays DriveCleaner ads. It's not the same.

If uninstalling the _program_ doesn't help, please wait for Jabuck. He should allow you to post your HijackThis log.

Ok, thanx. I'll try looking at it from that perspective.
