    I'll try that tomorrow morning and tell you how it goes, I'm gonna put it on hibernate so the pop-ups don't kill me when I turn on my computer. Plus on top of my router and wireless card on my laptop is acting up!! Thanks!

    If I performed System Restore to an earlier date do I have to run all the scans again? By the way, before the System Restorea and after all of the scans I still had the pop-ups when logging in. I performed in that order and removed all spyware, and adware. No viruses or the anything showed up on CWShredder. Everything had the latest updates.

    I didn't do system restore to fix the adware/spyware/viruses. It was another computer error, I must have done something in the Windows Registry, I have it all fixed now.
