if you know what your doing safemode , hijack this ,and a good AV/spyware program will get ya thru it ... but as others have said "Reformat" is probely faster .

the online scanners can tell you what you have but they cant get ride of them because there running in the background hense the use of safemode.

I know it's sad but it's hard not to laugh. He probably can't even navigate to get to a spyware/adware/virus scanner now.

That is what happens when you spend time on the porn sights looking at and downloading the free samples, or so I am told.

I did not Click on a Pop-Up to download a password cracker program. I googled it which should of probably not of done. I just been interested in Computers and been trying to find out new things. And yes once in awhile i look at porn hey just admitting it may help with figuring out whats wrong

Download and run Spybot S&D, it's free and effective.

If this fails to fix the problem entirely then restore to an earlier date. I also suggest changing all passwords.

Alright will do ~~thanks for the help~~

Unplug your Internet connection ASAP.
If you can, burn your My Documents folder, pictures, etc onto CDs or DVDs, Be sure to scan these before running the disks in your fixed PC or any other PC.

Spybot S&D is great, but they don't update it often. I'd try some other ones mentioned above before giving up. AdAware also is very good and free.

yeah Spy Bot seems like its working, haven't got any pop-ups. This started one night ago and i came back from school and had 200 internet explores opened. I'm using and only using Firefox now.

This is usually the point in the thread where Skuzzy shows up and says something like "Well, Internet Explorer is perfectly safe if you use it properly" followed by a comment about Firefox that's vaguely disapproving.
