I am working at a computer that is having a popup issue. Popups randomly appear, regardless of whether MSIE is open. I'm using Win2k Pro SP4 with MSIE 6 SP1. My steps so far:

- Scan using Spybot, and fix all problems. Click "Immunize", just cuz.
- Scan using Ad-Aware, and fix all problems.
- Scan using Norton AV Corporate Edition, which returned two trojans on two different days - one called Backdoor.Lifefournow, and one called Download.Trojan. I followed steps as listed at the Symantec site for these two. A new scan today returned no trojans.
- Run HijackThis, notice four "03 - BHO"s with no file and no name, go into the registry, and (after backing it up) deleting the keys.

No dice. So, here's my HijackThis log, while I have Outlook, Windows Explorer, and two MSIE windows up:

The IT guy here at work is going to reinstall the OS next week, but I'm taking a crack at this now, because I really want to find a solution that isn't "format/reinstall OS". Thanks in advance!
