I have ran all the programs (Ad-Aware, SpyBot Search and
Destroy), HiJack This, SpySweeper, Shredder and even ran
virus scans and Trojan QHost and nothing has seemed to
work. The one spyware that all of them seem to find is
one called PurityScan. I tell Ad-Aware and the rest of
them to remove it from my system but it keeps coming
back. Even after all these, I still am dealing with Pop-
Ups. Any other suggestions on how to get rid of this
stuff would be greatly appreciated.
