first off, hello, this is my first post here so be gentle.
a bit of background: accidentally installed some spyware rubbish that came up. so i took the following steps: removed anything dodgy from add/remove. updated and ran both adaware and spybot sd and removed anything that they picked up. next i ran cwshredder which found one item and removed that.
system is almost clean except that when surfing sites that i know have no popups associated with them, i get a small rectangular internet explorer popup in teh bottom right of the screen advertising software and what not. hence i hijack this is my last resort to find the small remnant of spyware left on my pc...
hope u guys can help :)
here is my log.
