From: Dell Christopher on 22 Jul 2010 18:03 I've done a pretty thorough cleaning of my WinXP system using the following tools: Spywareblaster Spybot S&D AVG 9.0 Malwarebytes CCleaner I've also turned System Restore OFF and back ON, and reset Internet Explorer. Nevertheless, I'm still getting browser pop-ups and redirects with both IE and Firefox. I'm at a loss as to how there is still something bad in there that I can't get to. If there is another good tool out there, I'd love to hear about it. All feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Until you get other answers, try the free version of SuperAntiSpyware which can be found on the webpage of the same name. Be sure to update it before you run it. It does not ask you to pay to eliminate what it finds. Buffalo

From: Dell Christopher on 22 Jul 2010 18:44 I will try SAS. In the meantime, I came across ComboFix and it identified some rootkit activity. After completing its scan on a reboot, the browser is behaving normally. Many thanks for the replies.
