So normally I have no popups. I have both Adwatch and the google toolbar which work pretty well. Well I was playing yahoo pool today and once time I went into this game and the all of a sudden my internet browsers crashed. I thought uh oh, this can't be good...he must have done something to my computer.

So now everytime I close the window on a yahoo pool game, this Netflix popup comes up. That's the only time that I have noticed the popup so far. I ran Ad-aware and it found some things, I deleted them, but then the problem was still there. I then ran Trend Micro's online virus checker and it found a virus. So I deleted that but the problem still persists. I have looked through my system processes and haven't found anything out of the ordinary.

So any ideas on what else I can try? If you want, I can paste my Hackthis data.

I think I downloaded RegCleaner, although it was called RegSupreme. Are those two different things? I ran that program and it found all these registry entries that I didn't need. So I erased all of those but the popup still came up. Maybe i'll try finding RegCleaner

well boy am I stupid.

The reason the popup started coming up was because during one of the games I clicked on the google popup thing and unkowingly set it to allow popups. So that was my only problem. No virus or anything. But at least I cleaned out my registry and everything.
