Pop up keeps coming back?

Something has been implanted on my computer. My firewall picked up 2 trojans and deleted. For some reason a sneaky pop up appeared and I tried to close it, well I clicked the wrong x and now I have this pop up with freaky ads. I scanned my computer with Spybot Search & Destroy, Avira Antivirus Personal and Pest Control. It picked and destroyed virus and other junk. So the next day that crazy pop-up shows up again! So I download Ad-Aware 2008 recommending by C-Net, it picked up additional c**p the other ones missed and fixed some other stuff.

The thing is the pop-up add still comes up, execpt its now missing the ad. Its a blank pop-up, and it just says advertisement on the header. It seems Ad-Aware did not completely remove it.

How do I get rid of it?

  1. My firewall picked up 2 trojans and deleted.- NOT POSSIBLE.

    You've run a lot of scans; do the following:

    boot in safe mode & run Avira - if this finds nothing very un likely you have a virus.

    hang on - do you have any of the following on your PC:

    Messenger Plus! Live? (gives CiD pop ups)

    zango (makes its money from spyware (pop ups))

    If you don't have these on your PC do a free online scan:

  2. www.malwarebytes.org

    Run a full scan, it's totally free.

  3. Yes get Malwarebyte's AntiMalware it is a highly recommend program that finds and removes stuff that other security programs don't.  

  4. Download and run Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware from http://www.geeksjunction.com to check your computer for all kinds of threats.
