"System Performance Wizard" - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Hi everyone. I am getting a Pop-up Ad that is driving me bananas. It is a "System Performance Wizard" and it states it will analyze your computer performance. There is usually an animation of a man in the middle and then all of these memory type indicators. It also has a beige background. Along with that I also get one that looks exactly the same but it is called I believe "Memory Enhancer" and has an animated dog but the same background.

Now I am coming here because I think I have exhausted all possiblities in my knowledge base. Here is what I have done:

I have the Most up-to-date Ad-Aware 6.0 with the latest updated components. I have ran that.

I have McAffee virus Scan and have ran the virus.

I have the program Trojan Hunter and that has found nothing.

Lastly, I have VirusMD Personal Firewall 3.0 installed, but there is where my NOVICE title comes in. I don't know how to configure it to help me block stuff. For example: when it says to add a PORT for the Firewall I have no idea what to do there..

If anyone has experienced this or have an idea on how to stop it..I would be greatly appreciative! Thanks
