I am very technical and have removed dozens of viruses/malware in the past, but this one is a bugger!
Whenever I start IE or Mozilla I get a continuous stream of pop-ups. I can get rid of it temporarily, but everytime I re-boot or re-start IE it comes back. Also, on re-boot I now get a DOS program executing before XP (?)
I have McAfee installed and have done numerous scans (waste of $$).
I have run the following: Kaspersky, SuperAntiSpyware, ComboFix, Virtumundo, HiJackThis, CCleaner, and a handful of smaller apps.
Below are the SuperAntiSpyware, HiJackThis, and ComboFix logs. Any help is appreciated.
