and somebody asked about security- ZoneAlarm is the firewall that I use. It has a free basic version and a bells and whistles version you gotta pay for.
ZoneLabs ZoneAlarm (http://www.zonelabs.com/store/applic...og_view_id=201)
Hope that helps someone.
And Stinger is also a great program. I never seen a trojan come across my computer until last week...got hit by 2 of them. Not via email, but by visiting hacked sites.

Two thumbs up for SpyBot and Ad-aware! Both are awesome programs, but you must use BOTH of them. They will each find files the other has missed.
These are the ONLY software programs that the network at my work will allow us to install. As a major law enforcement agency, we cannot take any chances with our computer files. I use it here and at home, and run them religiously every week. You'd be surprised how much crap they find!
I use Ad Aware from Lavasoft, and Zone Alarm Firewall. Ad Aware takes out the Spy-ware and Zone Alarm helps to keep them from downloading to my Puter.

LMAO !!
Thats my story and I am sticking to it.
I have to deal with this all the time a home and work. I've got 20 PC's a work and 4 at home...
My advice...
Scan, Scan, Scan. Use the adaware 6.0 (good and free), maybe purchase Norton Antivirus Professional which has a great spy ware killing program. Scandisk on thorough mode and repair automatically. Defrag...
Norton is the only one here that cost $$$ (about $70.00) and all should be done WEEKLY. It's like changing the oil in your boat or making sure the trailer tires have air in them...Don't let it get so bad or go so long that you have to shitcan everything on your hard drive and reload you software, that could burn up a weekend better spent drinkin or post whoring or something fun like boating...
I scan one type or another almost every night and never have a problem anymore. I make everyone at work do the same, and I have to babysit them to do it, else I'm taking all my time fixing thier screwed up machines...
Oh, and stay away from Kazaa...It's nothing but melicious code...
That's a bit more than .02, but you get the drift.
You should also go into control panel/add and remove programs. Look down the list of programs and see if there are any unknown toolbars installed and uninstall them.
Sometime the wife or kids may download and install these adult toolbars without knowing.
They may not be picked up by the spyware programs.

I had the same exact problem, and spybot programs did NOT solve the problem. Looky_lou has the closest recommendation to what I did to solve the problem. I had to call Microsoft Technicians and spent several hours going through several menus removing all sorts of programs and re-setting several settings.
These sights bury their code deep in the program file structure and could not be removed by simply resetting my home page or removing program files; they reset themselves every time I rebooted.
Call Microsoft, they are very aware of this issue and can resolve it relatively quickly
I run ad aware too it picks up alot of stuff but ti too still have probs with the porn pop ups.I also have the smae probs as outcole'd
