[Solved] God Only knows what I've got now!

Wow, just fixed a mess two days ago and I go to a site to look up an Italian word and this thing just installed on its own! I didn't touch ANYTHING! It's called Virtual Bouncer. I used AdAware to try to remove it and then used Bulletproof Spyware remover. The actual program no longer comes up, but I still get pop ups. I deleted most of what I found unusual in HijackThis, but perhaps I'm missing a file or two. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

(God to think I got this from an online dictionary is just ludicrous!)

Virtual Bouncer - what a doozy! Log attached

Well, shoots, ran a DOS-based antivirus tool which found a trojan that this little program installed for me, thank you very much.

Here's the updated log now - still getting popups.

Re: God Only knows what I've got now!

Okay, I'm going to give this a try. I'll let you know what happens in a couple of hours!

 

Re: God Only knows what I've got now!

Marianna - so far so good! THANK YOU, you are my goddess heroine! Tee hee hee. Wish I knew as much as you do (and I call myself a computer tech!). I would not have thought those files were malicious and I never thought to empty the temp folder. I had quite a lot of crap in there.

No pop-ups so far, tho. You're an angel for helping! Many many many Hawaiian Mahalos.
