I must have downloaded something recently, I don't know, but I keep getting annoying pop-ups that i didn't usually get. Even when IE isn''t even opened.

Spyware? I downloaded the microsoft anti-spyware beta thing, it helped a little but the problem still persists. Can anyone recommend something to do about this? I'm thinking about doing a system restore to a few weeks ago, but prefer that as a last resort.

Wow you have alot of stuff running!

well the one called bargains is sure to be spyware... most likely one sending you popups. You also have two processes called explorer which if that isnt a typo could mean some program is masquerading in as one of them. The real explorer should be about 12,800k in size. Do you use a peer to peer network? if not... I would definately kill that p2pnetworking. That could be a problem one. There are a couple others like BigFix that I dont recognize that could be possibilities.


I would definately try that one called bargains though first. That almost seems too obvious.
