My god whatever you have... please don't spread it around. If you have done all of that and cannot find the problem then I would say that the software you used isn't doing what its suppose to be doing.

Try PestPatrol, or Stinger... let me the Stinger link... it looks for trojans and kills them. http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger

I would also ditch your viruse protection and try using McAfee or even *shudder* Nortan. You can also do an on line scan using Pandasoft. http://www.pandasoftware.com/products/ActiveScan.htm

Good luck.

One thing, this pop up you see, is it like a windows messinger box? If so you will need to go to MS and find a way to turn that off. There is an internal messinger that adware ****ers have figured out how to tap into to cause pop ups. It took me a very long time to find out how to have it turned off. But MS has an instruction page on it.

If your anty-spyware isn't working you can try solve this by yourself.

Most of spywares, trojans, and other annoyances like bonus toolbars and popups, are just simple dynamic linked libraries (not always have .dll extension, but in fact they are .dlls). Usually can be found in /Windows or /Windows/System. Sort these dirs by modification date and look at latest modified files. If you find something like mfczzx.dll, glajfr.aux etc... that could be what you are seeking.
Deleting files from this dirs is a serious risk, so I suggest doing some backups

You can also try to run regedit and find what you've got in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run
It's possible that links to some spywares are there.
(something like "Rundll32.exe strange.dll")

If everything fails... reinstalling system always helps.

You also might want to post a Hijack This log report and info on what you have tried on DSL Reports and get advice from the experts there, if you can't fix it by doing what has been posted here.

Please do not suggest Norton again... that crap is more of a virus than what it tries to clean up...
