Before I begin, I refer you to my previous thread on this:
http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/showthr...threadid=56135

Now, suddenly my issues have returned. I am still getting pop-ups. I've done the recursive searches, virus scans, spyware scans, etc. I've searched through the registry and found it clean of common spy programs (alchem, over, pup, etc). I can find abcolutely nothing wrong with my computer. However, whenever I open up an IE browser, I still get a pop-up, and then continue to get pop-ups at random intervals. I nab the URL of the pop-up and add it to my HOSTS file, yet the pop-ups seem to continue, even when their URL is set to the local address.

Google searches have turned up nothing of any use, or nothing I haven't already tried. I am officially out of ideas.

Someone....anyone.....pleazzz help! I'm about to whip out the Ghost if I don't solve this soon. *irritated*
