A friend, who I do not have local access to, is having problems with her machine. She is experiencing pop-ups while FireFox is open. These pop-ups happen periodically, sometimes one at a time, sometimes in pairs, etc. Most of the ads are for match-making and poker sites.

She ran Webroot SpySweeper and it kept finding trojan-downloader-zlob, however it kept quarantining it and even though she deleted it from quarantine, it continues to re-appear in future scans. I had her follow the directions for Trojan-Downloader-Zlob removal, but the pop-ups continue.

I've had her run Spybot S&D, Ad-Aware and Windows Defender, all to no avail.

Here is her HiJackThis log:

The rules say

Do not 'bump' or reply to your topic. We look first for posts with no replies, and we start with the oldest posts and work forward. Bumping will delay a reply.

However I'm seeing threads posted after mine being replied to, while mine has remained empty.

I don't want to come off as having a sense of entitlement as I have great respect for the services you are providing, but I am still looking for help.

Kind Regards.
