The pop up link is broken and always says adserve. I downloaded and ran the new version of spybot three days ago and it cleaned everything i thought. I ran it again today and it found nothing. adaware found nothing. CWshredder found nothing. I ran hijackthis and found nothing. I updated norton anti-virus and it found nothing. Any clue what this thing is? any help would be appreciated Jobefx
