Hello My friend's computer has been overly popup friendly lately he gets about 7 popups per 2-3 mins. He has run adaware and Spybot but he is still having this problem. Please review his log and let me know what if anything he should remove. Thank you

You are missing the very top of the log that tell us what OS they are running and what version of hijackthis ,ect ect

If the top of the log was there i would know the OS ,what version of windows are they using .

and i don't see anythin that would be causin popups .
If the top of the log was there i would know the OS ,what version of windows are they using .

Well if the cause is in that log I don't see it ,only thing i can think is maybe it the messenger process service[not msn messenger ] get them yo download and run this to stop it if it running .
