about blank and pop ups

[angla10]

sorry...pop up was from a.tribalfusion.com.

Lets cleanup after norton first

Symantec Removal: http://basconotw.mvps.org/SymRem.htm

[LonnyRJones]

I made a mistake, you have AVG Anti-Spyware 7.5, not antivirus.
So either install Norton antivirus or another asap, sorry for the trouble.


tribalfusion.com

Are they warnings from SpyBot ?
which web site are you at when the popups occure ?

[angla10]

I've been removing norton. It should all be gone. I have a regular recycling bin now. Should I go ahead and install Norton 2007 again (provided free from my internet providor), or do you recommend someone else?

[angla10]

It's ok. I had to do all that stuff to get rid of the pieces left behind from my unsuccessful uninstallation of Systemworks 2002. Had to unistall Norton 2007 while doing this anyway.

[LonnyRJones]

I would rather suggest any other program besides norton or Mcafee, but the choice is yours ofcource.
There are three free programs to chose from mentioned here

Popups come randomly. Many Poker/Casino ones also. No warnings from Spybot or any other spyware scan.
While uninstalling Norton, I noticed "idleproc" in my startup items (it's not checked now though) ---Command C:DOCUME~\1\Owner\APPLIC~1\BASECD~1\idleproc.exe.
I think idleproc was giving me the popups before, cause it would start running when I would delete one of the many IEXPLORE.EXE and create a new IEXPLORE.EXE

[LonnyRJones]

Ok, post a fresh Hijackthis log

Also what programs did you install just before the popups started ?

Edited to add
NetPumper

[angla10]

I'm quite sure it was NetPumper and nothing else.
(I just installed AVG antivirus.)
