Free XP registry cleaner .... if memory serves me it was highly recommended in an article on PC Pitstop.com. I've run it a few times with success, fairly simple instructions. Download site is MajorGeeks.com which is a good download site in my opinion. " Safely cleans junk out of the Windows 2000/XP system registry. All changes made to the registry are fully restorable to it's original condition. You can make an exclusion list of registry entries that RegScrubXP will not displa... [ More ]

But thanx for everyone's reply, especially Konane because since the Trend Micro ran and got rid of everything, I haven't even had a pop-up since. Good ridance. You gotta love the LP community.

Thanx all for your help. I just installed Trend micro, with a 30 day trial. It eliminated 114 threats, but some are still hanging around. I'll try some of the other suggestions made here. Again thanx to all.

http://housecall.trendmicro.com/ Since they've added spyware to their scans it will take a bit longer, but worth the time. Would also suggest after scanning and cleaning downloading ZoneAlarm free firewall.

When I bought this laptop 2 days ago, I forgot to create a restore point.

I was being heavily attacked yesterday by trojans, hijackers, malware, and everything else you could think of. I have Adaware, AVG, Spybot. They helped a lot, but there is stuff still in my computer I can't get rid of. I know the only antivirus programs that truly work have to be bought, like Registry mechanic, and other PC tools products. Are there any that you can recommend that are free and useful? Thanx..

They've already screwed up some of my registry entries. I know this because I get Run dll error messages on startup.

I'm thinking of TrendMicro to download.

Any help would be appreciated.
