Recently I went to a website that put a lot of junk on my computer (including thesearchmall.com spyware, which I was eventually able to remove).

However, I am still getting multiple pop-ups for programs to remove the spyware, i.e. virus hunter. Words like VIRUS and SPYWARE are highlighted in pink in my internet browser.

I have run updated versions of spyware, ad-aware, and Hijack this (which was used to remove thesearchmall.com problem). I have deleted all my cookies and temp files. I am stuck, please help!

Kathy, You may have the EzuLa malware on your computer. Update your Ad-aware then run it as a new update just came out today which includes EzuLa.

A new reference file (01R316 11.06.2004) is now available.
