Here's the technique I used that seemed to work fairly consistently: 1. UNPLUG YOUR MODEM. Scary, I know, but this seems to prevent certain virii like Vundo from re-appearing after being removed. 2. Turn off Auto-Restore for your hard drives. (Certain virii use auto-restore to resurrect themselves.) 3. Reboot to Safe Mode 4. Run a full virus scan with the Anti-Malware program, Ad-Aware, trusted Anti-virus program. 5. Reboot to Safe Mode again 6. Scan again. If you did "smart scan" the first time, do a "full scan" this time. 7. Go make a sandwich. Read a book. If you have a lot of files, it'll take a while. 8. Did you get "no virus/malware found" finally? 9. Reboot to Normal Mode 10. Scan again, Just To Be Really Sure. 11. Did you get "no virus/malware found" again? You should be okay. Turn Auto-Restore back on, and make a Restore point. Plug the modem back in. And browse carefully. Dennis Trojans/Malware sucked up a lot of my Christmas vacation time.

You should be okay. Turn Auto-Restore back on, and make a Restore point. Plug the modem back in.

The pop up didn't go away, so I ran the scan again and it identified another 7-9 parasites, which I also removed. Still no progress - the pop up and all of the other annoying messages are still there. What else do you suggest?
