	Haldex popup problem (Asher, help me) Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

I'm having a problem with a popup that shows nudie pictures and wants me to download Haldex, whatever that is. And it opens about 20 popups before it finally stops asking me to download the program. I ran spybot and am running adaware. Spybot had 4 bad cookies only. My impression is that whatever it is, is not seen by Spybot and Adaware

hmm, have you tried the remove program tool?

have you tried downloading a newer version of adaware or spybot?

Haldex appears to have something to do with cars and trucks

Tsk, tsk. If you didn't visit porn sites you wouldn't get popups from them.

I couldn't find more than this link. Íf you can, check your registry. I once had something that was a program, that everytime when I loaded windows changed my startup page. Hard to say if your program loads when you start windows or when you use your browser. If you execute msconfig can you find anything fishy?

ok. Maybe I can do another Adaware search of the registry. I don't know how to look at mscofig and find suspicous things.

1. I ran adaware and spybot (both updated to latest update) and removed all bad actors.
2. disconnected from internet and restarted the computer.
3. Problem came back (getting the Haldex signup popups and a porn page showing.)

---------------------

How do I fix this? I wonder if it is related to my earlier problemwith the messenger program. I see a little icon next to the date that looks like two friends (but with a red x on it) that is I think the messenger program. Even though I'm not in it, it said before that it would still take incoming messages. How can I get rid of that. I don't even want that little icon down there.

My gf is coming over soon and I want the computer clean...

1. On the first, no. Ok, I will do that. But I have no clue what to delete. Do you really think I should start deleting stuff willy nilly? Not knowing what it is?

2. Only other utility I have is Norton antivirus. It shows no virus.

have you went to tool bar and checked to see if it changed your homepage?

I checked the settings on Adaware. It already scans the registry. I'm doing another scan that includes IE favorites and archives. Don't hold out much luck for that.

does it open up as soon as you use internet explorer?

if so I bet it has sometihng to do with the setting on that

you can try uninstalling internet explorer and reinstalling it(make sure you have an install disck though (it doesn't need to be current, just enough to get online))

1. Yes.

2. I can't follow advice as vague as reinstall IE. Asher gives me more step by step advice. Let me go see if I have an IE disk...

-------------------------

I ran a search of all the files changed in the last week. Not sure what that gains me. It is a lot of files.

Yes I did that. It did not fix the problem. Got it again when I opened up a webpage after restarting. Seemed not as bad this time. Just the pages, no popups. But I had disabled the messanger program before opening a page. Still would like to get rid of those pages and would like to make that little messanger icon not be in my little icon area.
