So I'm on my work computer (running XP Professional), and I've been having issues the last few weeks with spyware, and viruses.

I should note first of all that this computer was a mess before I ever inherited it. One of the techs who was here when I first started used to use it to look at bondage porn (in the office, while people were there).

I constantly get alerts from Virus Scan about these 2 downloader trojans it keeps finding in my system. It always fails in it's attempt to quarrantine or delete them, and when I manually delete them they come back. Sometimes Virus Scan will find them in different directories than they were previously in (but always in sub-directories of the temporary internet files).

On top of that, a few weeks ago I started having problems with popups. I gave up on IE and switched over to Firefox hoping it would help. But now I get sporadic popups whenever I use Firefox, the only twist is that the popups come as IE windows.

I installed Spyware Blaster, and Spybot Search & Destroy (in addition to Ad-Aware which I already had on here). Spyware Blaster is running with zero items unprotected. None of these 3 are picking up on either of the two trojans that keep coming up, and when I do a Virus Scan manually it doesn't find them either.

All I want is for these goddamn popups to stop.
