I dowloaded a program and I could tell right away that it had put spyware on my PC- my internet wouldn't work anymore. I immediatly scanned with both AdAware and Spybot and they removed stuff except for one thing- miraclesearch. This stupid program puts popups on my screen EVERY MINUTE- even as I write this, and its extremely annoying. AdAware is the only program that finds the files, and even when it does they reappear right after.
Here is my HJT log:

Hello and welcome to GeeksToGo Forums. :tazz:

Your version of HijackThis is out of date. Download the newest version, HijackThis v1.99.0.
Be sure to replace your old HijackThis.exe with this new one by saving over it.

Restart and post a new HijackThis log with the new version.
