I've looked, on top of the steps listed, at my system with autoruns and I can see the nasty files and where they are: I just can't remove them.
The cuplrits:
IN IE:
windows\system32\xxyayxy.dll
windows\system32\ssqro.dll
IN Winlogn\notify
ssqro.dll
winrip32.dll
xxyayxy.dll
As soon as I remove them, they come back. I liked to think I was at least fairly computer savvy, but I can't get this off.
Also, I know they're still there because, even though I'm not getting many popups, my system (expecially mozilla / ie) are EXCEPTIONALLY slow.
So, help, please.
