I've run Spybot twice and I still can't fucking get rid of it!!! Anyone know anything that works better? I don't care if it's pay, I just want these fucking popups off my computer.

Try system restore, if that doesn't work ctrl-alt-del and do a google search for suspicious running programs.  Sometimes they require a fix or for you to delete a certain file.

I have been using "Webroot Spy sweeper" for over a year and I can't remember the last time I had a popup on my computer.Of course maybe I don't visit the shadey sites that you do.

I've tried Ad-Aware, Windows Defenders, EZ-Trust, and Spy-bot and still no luck. It even wacked my restore points, so I can't run system restore. GODDAMNIT!!!

I will repeat my mantra again.... SAFE MODE!As soon as you boot up normally, the virus/spyware is loaded into memory. Delete the actual files off of the hard drive, and the portion resident in memory reinstalls itself.Boot your computer into safe mode by hitting F8 just after you turn on the computer. After running your spyware and antivirus software, reboot normally.

It ran the scan, took about 90 minutes to complete but wouldn't fix anything unless i registered which i assumed meant "pay for it"   I looked through the items found(there were approx 740) but I didn't see something with the name $sys$DRMServer so i didn't want to register or pay.Maybe it was found and is just hidden under a different name so i need to learn more about it.

Rootkits are particulary nasty by hiding themselves. Even the best programs can only go so far.
