Go to Add/Remove Programs and see if you have something called "httper" if so remove it. Still work on the solution.

Whats your email I think SpySweeper will find it too. I have a good version.

Once you install spysweeper do the Options Update Definitions or something. Hopefully it works. Marsfind sounds like a biotch to get rid of from all the readon I have been doing.

Something also called X-clean or something. Hard to find good info on it.

Dom, thats the by product of spyware/hijacker. Its not the OS problem, its the USER's problem.

I realize that, but it seems that XP is subject to WAAAAYYY more of this crap than 98 was. I used to hardly ever get random popups, but XP shovels them out hourly.

Also go to

Control Panel
Adminstrator Tools
Services
Disable Messenger service

Many deals use that for popups.

Ok and so is the problem fixed with SpySweeper or do I need to keep digging around for a solution?

Jesus, what the hell are you doing to your pc. What sites you visiting? You do have all the pop-up blockers and all that right? With SpySweeper running you shouldnt get those things.
