    Unhappy got infected by 3 spywares last nigt

    I got infected by 3 spywares in a roll last night. I don't think that I got rid of those, although I installed Superantispy free home edition. Also, there have been pop-up windows keeping roll in every few seconds non-stop. I read all the posts about how to fix it. They said deleting the file "zinpas.exe" and its five odd letter exe file under C://Documents and Settings/user name/Application Data. However, I don't know why my computer is different; I don't have Application Data under Documents and Settings/Myname. There is UserData there, yet no spyware names under there at all.

    How do I find its registry. I was trying to delete its registry, yet I did not find it. Actually, back up a little, I did all the above after I tried uninstalling zinaps, although I could not uninstall it properly or successfully either. I just finished downloading Spybot. It fixed every possible problem it could find. However, I still get all the pop-up windows non-stop. I do want to know how and where to find the zinpas registry. I don't think any spyware/adware buster program can kill it, for it's so new. Thanks
