520159 2007-01-28 22:56:00 Whenever i open firefox, an internet explorer popup appears for poker, american green card etc.
These popups also appear when I use internet explorer (rarely), or when I switch browsing engines in FF.
I've done virus and adware scans.

520160 2007-01-28 23:31:00 Run HJT again ( close browser/s), tick these entries and tick fix checked.

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [WinampAgent] C:\Program Files\Winamp\winampa.exe

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [QuickTime Task] "C:\Program Files\QuickTime\qttask.exe" -atboottime

4 - HKCU\..\Run: [MSMSGS] "C:\Program Files\Messenger\msmsgs.exe" /background - run this manually.

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [help locks trust jugs] C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\pile noun help locks\CdromLocks.exe - this maybe spyware.

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SunJavaUpdateSched] "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_10\bin\jusched.exe" - uninstall this and get the update from here (sdlc6d.sun.com DFED88CEF66)

And then install a firewall.

520161 2007-01-29 08:25:00 Have you disabled messenger under services. mikebartnz (21)
520162 2007-01-29 09:01:00 services? jermsie (6820)
520163 2007-01-29 09:25:00 Just download and run this little program (www.grc.com) (Shoot the Messenger) and it will disable Messenger if it hasn't been already. FoxyMX (5)
520164 2007-01-29 09:50:00 Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Services. Using this you can disable numerous services which can make your PC more secure and faster because of the released memory. Do a google on Windows XP services and don't disable any you are unsure of otherwise you will find features not working. Just do a few at a time so you can check to see if everything is working ok. mikebartnz (21)

Install a firewall.
It'll help next time.
