So my laptop was pretty fine all day. I go out for a few hours and I come back and there are about 90 pop ups on the screen and my background is now blue saying its infected. I ran my adware and spybot search and destroy and it pulled stuff but its much worse than what these programs were able to pull out. Any suggestions? ---

download “hijackthis”, then run it and post a log of the results. might be able to see some problems in there theres also a program called “VunduFix” you could try and see if it catches any smithfraud’s or bad spyware/virus files ---

+1 for a HiJackThis log. Post the log but do not change any of the settings. You can really mess up your computer if you don’t know what you’re doing. ---

or try [Trendmicro.com](http://Trendmicro.com)…saved the SHIT outta my laptop a couple months ago…they have a program on their website called “housecall”…set that up to run and leave it for a couple hours and come back and follow the prompts from there. Then for future prevention get a free registry cleaning software…I had glarysoft and it really worked well…been fine since ---
