OK, I made an account with bleepingcomputer and I thought my system was all clean now but an ad just popped up again...what should I do?

Ads are common, and don't necessary mean you are infected.

Do you have Firefox?

I just tried to install the recovery console but i have a small dilemma; the version of the stuff on my windows xp disc is older than the stuff (I guess it was referring to the service pack) that I have currently installed on my computer. Is there any way I can download a more current version of the recovery console?

• Please download BurnAtOnce and save it to your desktop. Click on Downloads, then on burnatonce 0.99.5
  
  • Install it by double-clicking on the file bao0995.exe that you downloaded.
  • Click Next, accept the license agreement, and click Next until the button says "Install". Click "Install" to finish.
• Download the rc.iso file.
• Save it to your desktop.
• Put a blank CD in your computer’s burner.
• Right-click on the file rc.iso, and select "burnatonce" from the menu.
• Confirm that the box under the menu at the top says "rc.iso".
• Click the "Write" button.
• When the disk finishes, eject the CD.

OK I did that...but what did that do?

[handhfan]

That will burn the Recovery Console to a CD. You would just use that CD to boot into the Recovery Console whenever you need it.

OK...I think everything's fixed then, since you said my logs were clean and the computer's been running better. Thanks for helping me!
