				I just use IEs build in one and also Google task bar. Don't kill all pup ups but does a fair job.
Just do a scan on your PC to make sure you havent got a trojan too

				Could it be spyware/malware lego?
I got hit with this one last year
Spyware guard 2008 link
Kept giving spyware found messages and virus scan messages.
Was missed by adaware , spybot , avg and a few others but malwarebytes picked it up
Malwarebytes link

				what are tracker cookies? because ive done a system scan and found like 200 of em, but it says threats found 0
so are they dangerous? or not?
also, what other free scanners are there because im still getting popups and slow ass internet, but AVG is finding knoball

				ok i now have 
AVG FREE
Spyware Doctor
and 
Superantispyware
have removed all 149 virus/trojan threats it found and lets hope its all goooood 
 
streaming House M.D from crazy chinese sites like Tuduo is probably not the best idea ive had

				for searching registry i use this
http://www.macecraft.com/
use it at work and home, absolutely awesome. cleans out all ya old crap, helps get rid of software that doesnt have uninstaller.
and for what u need it for, searching your registry, every last bit of it to find any hidden key from BS malware etc.
as for spyware scans i see that u used a few but you didnt say you used malwarebytes like slarti suggested and thats a good one! gets a lot of things others dont. soz if ya have used it!

				yeah sorry thought id replied to slartis.. net musta gone down as i did
tried it.. found a few but didnt get this trojon (win32.zafi.b) 
also HW's idea of deleting from the registry found 2 files when i searched zafi.b deleted em.. didnt work 
 
ill try that program smiffy, see what happens from it

				avg free is quite good, but i paid for avg 8.0 and it is so much better.  sometimes it is worth paying.
also, stop looking at donkeyporn, and you will be sorted.
