My actual problem can be described as Aurora popups (and IE popups as well, even though I attempted to disable and irradicate internet explorer) occuring in clusters of 2 or 3 every minute or two. The IE popups are being blocked by my Popup Blocker, but they seem to be remaining open long enough before being closed to minimize my other programs, games, etc. The IE popups seem to only flicker at the maximum time open, and other times you can't even notice they're open at all. The only thing that will happen is the active window will lose it's.. activeness, and become greyed. This is extremely obnoxious. However, the Aurora popups clearly blow past everything I try to block it with and fully open.
I've looked through other topics relating to this and I thought that it would be best if I created my own topic. I downloaded HiJackThis into it's own folder, and ran a scan. This is the log file.
Thanks for the help guys, ahead of time.
