2 days ago a friend of mine send some sort of message or so it seemed via msn live. It was a link to download something but only that, she said nothing else. I did a stupid thing by clicking on it, installed it and had virusses. I got toolbar888 and another thing, I removed and I did a scan with AVG and I thought it removed it. But I keep getting anoying popups (in firefox) and I can't find a way to get rid of it. When I play a game and a popup opens, I instantly go out of the game to windows, it is very anoying and frustrating. I ran adaware and it found 74 infected objects. I could remove them all but one: c:\windows\system32\fp0003dme.dll How can I get rid of these anoying popups?

Hey Uriahla,

Try running the Following Software in Safe Mode...

Remember: You need to Extract the Files Before Running it.

Then Run your Adaware from the Safe mode once too... And then do an MSCONFIG... Should fix your issue..

Try superAntispyware and trojan remover, it sounds like you still have some kind of trojan of spyware still installed.
