Can you do the following

Download Hijackthis from my signature below and save it too a permanent folder on your harddrive
Only run hijackthis from that new location

Run another scan with hijackthis and post a fresh log

Also, open Hijackthis>>Open Misc tools section
Open Uninstall Manager
Click the SAVE LIST button
Save the list too your desktop and then copy and paste the Whole contents back here

If you are receiving help elsewhere, please let me know that too

I first restored my computer to an earlier point because the pop ups were so bad, i couldnt even click on my screen to open or close any other programs.

Then Spybot finally ran for me, I run adaware all the time and I went ahead and installed spywareguard and blaster.

Ack!! It seems like i restored my computer to a point that is way to far back for my likings as i have lost a lot of stuff i've added since then. When i try to undo the restore by restoring to a point later than that date, i get an error after the comptuer reboots saying that it cannot restore to the point i requested. Does this mean that all is lost now??

Sorry I missed your reply

The best I can say right now is too supply a fresh hijackthis log if you still need a hand
