Last wednesday Mc Fee notifiied me that I had a worm or virus and it was deleted, as it runs while computer is on.
An hour later, my computer was taken over by pop ups, if I tried to x them out my computer froze .
I ran several spyware programs, but it hasn't helped.
I found files and programs installed everywhere, and some seemed impossible to get rid of. I found one file in windows, that may have identified itself as being needed by windows, it was created the same exact time that this spyware was installed, which it turns out was the same time Mc Fee did it's delete.
Many of these files had weird names, the one I now suspect is a gnjivapg.dll.
Can anyone give me imput or suggestions on installing programs that may help.
Thanks Joal

And rightly so. Random, gibberish filenames like that are almost always components of a malicious program, and in the case of the above file that's most certainly the case.
