i ran spywareblaster and i selected all of the files to protect against. as soon as i got done with that i got nailed with another wave of pop ups...the same ones as before. is there a way i can tell my computer to not allow content froma website, and then just enter the websites that is giving me pop ups?

Try running all those programs I mentioned in safe mode. You may also have to restart for spywareblaster to take effect. You can edit your hosts file to block certain websites, but I'm not sure how to do this.

what do i need to get rid of?

I'm not sure exactly what to remove, but this forum can help you better. Just make a post titled "Constant pop-ups --HELP" and copy and paste the scan log it scanned. You don't need to register a name. forums.spywareinfo.com I could tell you some stuff to remove, but, I'm not sure if some of the stuf you have installed needs to be installed.

You have to save the scan to a text file, then open that text file, and then copy and paste.

after a quick readthru of your hijack this log, one thing pops out - slmss.exe.

I think I remember this one being a trojan/adware, but I'm not entirely sure - time for a google...

D'oh! How did I miss this;

"O16 - DPF: {13197ACE-6851-45C3-A7FF-C281324D5489} - http://www.2nd-thought.com/files/install011.exe"

and this;
"O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [ClrSchLoader] C:\Program Files\ClearSearch\Loader.exe"

in your log?

You actually have programmes fighting over who gets to show you pop ups!

Have you downloaded and run Adaware? It should clean this 2ndthought and Clearthought crap off your pc for you.

Also, do you run a firewall? Surely a firewall would have spotted these programs trying to access the net and download new ads.

Nick - the very next thing you need to do is go to lavasoft, download Adaware, update it, and run it.
Even if you are on dial-up, its only 1.7 meg and is an absolut essential.

It'll probably tell you a couple of things i missed, and most importantly - it'll clean them off your system completely.

If you aren't running a firewall, and if even I can spot evils in your hijackthis log, then you've got problems.
Next step is a trip to zonealarm, where you will download and install zonalarm free. Set it to block attack s silently, but make programs ask for permission before they can access the net.

Then reboot and see if you are still getting popups.

By the way, are you running an antivirus program?

Also, i think wupdater.exe runs a bell - it might be a trojan. check it out.

And I should have said that hardware firewalls are very good, and built in router firewalls are ok, but you need to know what you are doing to use them, and you should really have a software one as well.

in addition to what dpm suggested, get rid of (maybe overlap)

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [ClrSchLoader] C:\Program Files\ClearSearch\Loader.exe

i dont see how a firewall is gonna stop you from downloading content that will install.

should always clean adaware, spybot. bhodemon .. last hi jack this. hihack is the most confusing and easy to botch other programs if you dont know what you are doing.
