I have a pop-up virus that doesn't go away even when internet explorer is closed. It starts with a message that if my CD door has opened that I need to go to their site and install spyware. (Which I haven't done). The same two porno pop ups keep reappearing after I close them and when I check internet explorer for the home page setting it has their address. I change it back to google, but that doesn't work. There also is an internet explorer box that says "in order to access this site you must press Yes". I can't close it and I also can't get rid of it by pressing the "ok" box. HELP!!!!!!!!

Delete everything the programs find; all deletions are reversible.
If you still have problems after using Spybot and Ad-Aware, download HijackThis (a new version is available), scan your PC, and post the log here in the Security & Virus forum.
