i have been having trouble with popups etc and when i run adaware it removes loads of crap but it keeps coming back. Something is making a barrage of popups open when i dont even have the browser open. i have tried pccillin but it doesnt find anything and AVG has located a couple of trojan horse downloaders all of which have been removed to the virus vault rather than being properly cleaned. However one "Dluca.N" remains attached to c:\windows\system32\sncntr.exe which cannot be removed to the vault i am afraid i havent got a clue how to get rid and my poor pc needs help. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

oh yeah shoulda spotted that one really.... was very useful in getting rid of the trojan, however the popups were coming from somewhere else....have now installed hijackthis and i think a bit of clever detective work has sorted the problem....fingers crossed Thanks
