Im not ready to try a reinstall yet. I updated ad-aware and spybot and I still get the pop ups. I wonder where the file is that is causing this?

I dont want to keep this thing in my system. Im starting t see other post with the same problem. Obviously, this is a new ad trojan that no one has beat yet. My blocker is set to max and it don work. My comp is slow and I still get full page pop ups. I have dial up and each time I boot up, IE7 tries to auto connect and informs me to connect or work offline. Sometimes the same pop up loads many times and freezes my comp.

My wife did a search on google and found that I have the vundo virus. Here is a link to the fix. It worked fine for me.
