We need to check for remnants.
Please Run TFC by OldTimer to clear temporary files:
Download TFC from here http://oldtimer.geekstogo.com/TFC.exe
and save it to your desktop.
Close any open programs and Internet browsers.
Double click TFC.exe to run it on XP (for Vista and Windows 7 right click and choose "Run as administrator") and once it opens click on the Start button on the lower left of the program to allow it to begin cleaning.
Please be patient as clearing out temp files may take a while.
Once it completes you may be prompted to restart your computer, please do so.
Once it's finished you may delete TFC.exe from your desktop or save it for later use for the cleaning of temporary files.

It's still churning away, but no more pop-ups which is huge!
Thank you so very much!!!!
P.S. I figured out the problem I was having with FRST. You had instructed me where to find it and then said to right click and scroll down to "send to", chose desktop. when I did that what happened was it sent a shortcut to the desktop. When I went back in and right clicked and "copied" and then pasted to the desktop it worked.
Just thought you might want to know for future.
Thank you again...things are so much better!
Thank you so much for telling me this, I kinda screwed up.When I went back in and right clicked and "copied" and then pasted to the desktop it worked.
No more pop ups is good news.
Eset can take a good while to run and scan but it is a good thorough scanner I rely on often. Don't be alarmed if it finds things because I expect this. What I would like to see is that what it does find are already located in quarantine folders.
