Has a Spybot scan or your antivirus scan revealed anything?

Here is a direct download link you could try:
http://www.spybotupdates.com/files/spybotsd152.exe

If that doesn't work out,or you run Spybot and you are still having problems afterwards,you could ask for help in malware removal.

The instructions are here:

If you cannot run the Spybot or Anti Virus scan at all, please go ahead and post the HJT log along with a note regarding scan/s failure.
Please do not link to logs uploaded to a third party site unless requested, such links may be removed.

The computer is a secondary one that has nothing on it - Everytime I try to down load this program or windows it closes everything down. It allows me to go to other sites. I am getting innondated with popups.

I am going to ask for help - I was responding to the previous post - before I saw yours.
