First off I apologize if this is the wrong place to post this.
I downloaded Spybot 1.4 today because I started getting a ton of random popups after clicking a "funny" link my friend sent me, normally i use Firefox, however the program it was linked in defaults to IE and I had never bothered to change it.
Initially it detected many problems, one called "Command service" which actually led me here and I was able to get rid of it (seemingly) by running spybot from safe mode. However after booting up again, I still had the popups ( though command service does not appear to be the problem at this point).
After several reboots , and using both Spybot and even adaware, I still have the problem, infact I can run it and run it again secondsl ater and a new rash of stuff pops up. I have neverh ad issuesl ike this before, I am usually pretty caustious and never get spyware/virus issues and I am wondering if there is anything else I can do aside from a reformat?.
Again I am sorry for posting this here if this is not the right place, I am not a very computer savvy person and have looked through a decent bit of these forums but most of it sadly goes over my head. Thanks in advance .
