OT: Pop-ups all the time. Why? FERRANTE 07-08-2006

I think I have downloaded something that is causing constant pop-ups
no matter which browser I use. I have everything set to not allow
pop-ups, yet they still appear. I've run Adaware, Spybot, AntiVir
Guard, and Ewido, and they all found stuff which I deleted. However,
the pop-ups are still happening.

What else can I do to find out what is causing this? Btw, really, OT
question: is there any programs that will tell is a keylogger is on
your computer?

Thanks in advance for your much-needed help.

When this happened to me it was the Vundo, and I had to
download a special Vundo remover. If you google this group
to around April of this year you will find my post on the
subject. The fix worked.

He indicated "...no matter which browser I use...".
The Vundo Trojan uses an IE BHO therefore I doubt it is the Vundo Trojan.

Steve,
I failed to mention that I use both IE (seldom) but my default is
Flashpeak's Slimbrowser, which I have been told uses IE's engine.
So I downloaded the Vundo tool, ran it, and it said it found
nothing. Yet the pop-ups are still occurring. This has only happened
for the last couple of weeks.
Any other suggestions?

Mark
