I am about to pull my hair out I am having such a tough time getting rid of some nasty adware/malware/trojan that snuck its way onto my computer.

Every so often while I am using Internet Explorer I get a full page size pop-up from places like www.broadcaster.com and www.maniatv.com and I have noticed my browser running slower and it has been freezing on me.

I have used the following programs to try and get rid of it:
Spybot S&D
Windows Defender
Spyware Terminator
Ad-Aware
and McAffee Antivirus.

So far none of these programs have been able to get rid of it.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what else I can do to get rid of it or what is causing it?

I actual have glass bathe doors as nicely - and this drove me NUTS. i take advantage of a affordable shampoo (.ninety 9 cent bottle at Walmart) and a green scratch pad. Everytime I took a tub - for about 2 weeks, i might positioned slightly shampoo and scrub down between the glass partitions (my bathe is two sides tile, 2 sides glass). this is the act of scrubbing that removes the cleansing soap scum - not the product. i might rinse it somewhat nicely, and then squeegee the glass till now getting out. After a pair of weeks - my bathe doors have been spotless. Then I took plan previous commonly used automobile wax, and waxed the doors. This keeps the cleansing soap scum from build up back. sturdy success. Dee

Usually if most of anti-malware programs fail to remove the malware, it means this malware uses random file name or variable size to avoid being detected by anti-malware programs. To remove these malware, you need a technician to help you find these malware out. Try adware away here : http://www.AdwareAway.net
