Are you still receiving the popups?

 

[tsi18psi]

Yes. There not as bad, but still there.
It seems a little faster though.

 

[ceewi1]

Can you give me some more information about the popups. Are they advertising anything in particular? Do they come up when Internet Explorer is closed, or just when you go to certain webpages?

Let's see if there's anything hiding deeper.
Please download F-Secure BlackLight

• Save BlackLight to your desktop.
• Double-click fsbl.exe then accept the agreement.
• Click > Scan then > Next
• After the scan you'll see a list of all items found. Please click Next and exit. Don't choose to rename anything yet! I want to see the log first, because legitimate items can also be present there.
• There will be a log on your desktop with the name fsbl.xxxxxxx.log (where the xxxxxxx are numbers)
  Please post the contents of this log in your next reply.

 

[tsi18psi]

There mostly for registry cleaners.
Well that limewire pop up is gone and aol stoped opening itself.So thats good.

 

[ceewi1]

OK, I just want to make sure that the Messenger Service isn't the cause of these popups:

Please download and run Shoot The Messenger. If it says "Messenger Service is Currently Running" click Disable Messenger. Tell me if that was the case.

 

[tsi18psi]

The blacklight scan is running as we speak.
How long does this scan usually take?

That one's clean. Try Shoot The Messenger in my previous post. Could you please post a screenshot of one of the popups.

 

[tsi18psi]

You mean with a camera rite?
Yes I can do that.
Im going to run the shoot the messenger thing now

 

[tsi18psi]

The messenger was running. I disabled it.

 

[ceewi1]

If you push the Print Scrn key on your keyboard, that will create a picture of whatever's on the screen at the time. Then, open up paint or any other image editing program, and click the Paste button. Save the file, and post it (you can use savefile.com for that as well).

The messenger was running. I disabled it.

Has that made any difference?

 

[tsi18psi]

O, I snaped one with my camera Im new
they havnt been poping up as fast since we started this process.
So it might take a sec. to tell if it made a difference.

Well, that works as well . See how it goes.

This is the screen shot I did with the prt scrn key.
It doesnt have a pop up but theres this white block in the bottom right of my screen I was wondering if you knew what it is.

[ceewi1]

Those are Messenger Service popups, they shouldn't return now that you've run Kill The Messenger.

I'm not sure what that white block is. Try restarting your computer. Does it stay there after restart? Does it come back at any particular point?

I strongly suggest that you install one of the following Antivirus programs, if you haven't already: AVG, AntiVir or avast!.

I suggest you also install the free version of one of the following firewalls: ZoneAlarm, Kerio, or Outpost

Now that we've cleared all that malware from your system, it's important that you update Windows XP to Service Pack 2. You can get it from http://update.microsoft.com/

Once you've updated to Service Pack 2, please also download all critical updates from http://update.microsoft.com/

Tell me how the update went.

 

[tsi18psi]

Ok im going to do all of that.
Can you tell me in your opinion which one of those antivirus programs is best? Also in your opinion which one of those firewalls is best?
Is there anything I can buy to make my computer faster?
Is there also something I can buy to make a dial up modem faster?

Thanks for all your help man. I really appreciate it.
