Norton = fail.

It could be adware, or malware. Avast only has virus and spyware protection I believe?

Can you post up the log once you're done? I'm curious to know what you have. I usually just delete all of them after I take a look at what they are.

malware isn't working T_T

everytime i run the scan, it scans fine; 101 infected files :X
all by one stupid trojan.v?.h virus!

but when i go to deleting them, malware freezes on me.

i don't know what i'm doing wrong.

i've run the scan 7 times and everytime it gets to the deleting part of the files, my whole computer freezes and i have to restart by pushing the button :X

help TT_TT

anyway, after the malware's huge fail, i called windows live support and after 2 techs supports and 2 hours of remote controlling, the pop ups are gone. FINALLY.

thank you very much the.user and meenuh for all your help.

Wow, you mad son? Hahaha, I was kidding about that crack I made at you. No need to take it too serious.
