My firefox keeps popping up twice with new pages for anti virus software, sometimes it's porn pages and sometimes it's crappy search engines. AVG doesnt find it, neither does spybot, so i removed them and installed Avira anti virus and ran the scan but that didnt find it either. firefox still keeps doing it. I really dont wanna nuke my drive and reinstall xp. does any one have any ideas on how to remove this problem?
Hi deebom Please download Superantispyware Free and install it. Follow the prompts and reboot if required.

Configuring SuperAntispyware • Click on Preferences. • In the tab General and Startup, make sure the box Start SuperAntispyware when Windows starts is unchecked. This will prevent SuperAntispyware from starting everytime, because it may interfere with other fixes that may be run. • Navigate to the tab Scanning Control. • Make sure only these boxes are checked: Code: Close browsers before scanning Scan for tracking cookies Terminate memory threats before quarantining Scan Alternate Data Streams Use Kernel Direct File Access (recommended) Use Kernel Direct Registry Access (recommended) Use Direct Disk Access (recommended) • Click on Close.
