[SGVLUG] Need help with clearing popups from windows system

[Emerson, Tom]

Yes, they ran adaware and a few other related items.  My brother-in-law
did most of the legwork (he does administer windows systems for where he
works)  He though it might be a "rootkit" type infection, so he tried
three of the latest and greatest rootkit removers to no avail.
 
we may try hijack this next, but I'm told "reading the logs" takes an
expert... (which, fortunately, can be found on the G4TV forums...)
Anyone here classify themselves as an expert on Hijack This?
 
the only other avenue before the last-resort of reformat & reinstall is
to run a "liveCD" of a linux system w/windows AV tools, or else take the
drive out and scan it as a secondary drinve on another computer (i.e.,
ensure that nothing FROM that computer's drive "loads" as a process or
part of the OS)

Have you ran adaware and AVG? (Probably not AVG related, but it doesn't
hurt, sounds like adaware)
