You are in error. You have no spyware. Thank you for your co-Order Viagra without a prescription!

Ok, there's something on my machine called Aurora and something related to it called Nail. Near as I can tell, it's a sort of "Hello, we've noticed that your pop-up stopper has been working and thought you might be missing them lately, so have some now" thing.

AdAware, Spybot, and TrendMicro all seem to agree that I have these things and say they'll do something about it, but I still get the pop-ups and "Nail.EXE not found" errors when I reboot. I keep hearing Gary Cole's character in "Office Space" saying "Yeah, I'd talk to Payroll about that."

Also, got Firefox on this thing now. Not out of any "Microsoft sucks" motive (I have friends who say "I refuse to use any Microsoft product." I can just hear Bill Gates now. "Three hundred million, four hundred million, five hundred million...What? James Glissen of Anchorage, Alaska doesn't like our products? FUCK! Six hundred million, seven hundred million..."), but because trying to bring up Gmail is crashing IE. I'm pinning this on known dickheads on my system Aurora and Nail.

Had the same problem a few months ago. I posted a question on this forum http://cybertechhelp.com and they helped me out and guided me through the process of removing it step by step. Try signing up there and asking, i'm positive you'll get the help you need. That's my favorite place for computer problems.

Good idea moving to Firefox. That was one of the greatest things i've ever done. Haven't had ANY trouble at all with spyware or anything since i've switched.

Let me know how it goes.
