It also creates popups to other random spyware removal sites, including this site "http://spywareremove...?hop=klubz&p=1"
For some reason, when I try to open a link of anything in a new tab (the newest beta version of internet explorer) it closes the whole window.
When I first tried to get rid of it, there was a folder created called "Cowabanga" and after I thought I got rid of it "Virtumonde" registry keys kept on showing up on Ad-aware scans.
Here is a scan from Hijackthis, please tell me if anything is wrong and how I should go about getting rid of this.
