Hi There just wanted to give you a heads up that Zoek is still running. The last text in the text field reads "---Firefox Extensions 9:02:53.65". It is currently 2:28 pm est. Also, just an fyi, it appears my wireless internet connection to my laptop is not working anymore. I noticed this before I started the scan. I wonder if its from running combo fix in my attempts fix my computer. Anyway, I am currently using a work laptop to communicate with you. Thanks.
 
Good morning. No, i am still getting the pop ups and internet is still slow. WHat did the zoek results reveal?
 
It did some Adware cleanup.

Running it on another one may cause damage and render the system unstable.

Download attached fixlist.txt file and save it to the Desktop:

Both files, FRST and fixlist.txt have to be in the same location or the fix will not work!

  • Right-click on
    FRST.gif
    icon and select
    RunAsAdmin.jpg
    Run as Administrator to start the tool.
    (XP users click run after receipt of Windows Security Warning - Open File).
  • Press the Fix button just once and wait.
  • If for some reason the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally. After that let the tool complete its run.
  • When finished FRST will generate a log on the Desktop, called Fixlog.txt.

Please attach it to your reply.
