Closing Chapter!!!!
The spyware married the Trojan and contained the viruses forever!! :) Just
joking!
I went to my Windows Hosts file and cleared all entries except the one to
127.1.--
Did not get the popups after this. Also after this I downloaded the real MS
Anti-Spy program which while a Beta is most likely a product that was under
liscense from another company. Ran that and have a clean bill of health.
Thanks guys!
