I had this same problem. It was from a program I downloaded. You're probably going to have to start Windows in Safe Mode, run a couple spyware/virus checks, and maybe even manually pull that crap out of there.

never download something on Popups.
It causes terrible damage on your PC and destroys it permanently.

Very few viruses actually damage the PC. Software wise, of course, but hardware, not really.

Funnily enough the same thing has just happened to me. Booted into Safe Mode, ran AVG scan and Ad-Aware SE scan and it's sorted.

I can't get rid of it! It keeps coming back! Keeps finding trojans and Smitfraudtoolbar or something and I keep getting popups from sites like 888 Gambling and MyDebtSolutions. What should I do?
