yes i did a full system format...so far so good. but then again it might come back. today morning i reinstalled everything and it was normal untill this afternoon around 6 pm i received all those pop ups. but then again i wasnt using the computer untill then my younger sister was using it from morning to 5 pm so i really don't know how it was acting. hope it went away for sure!!:) thanks
 
Ask her what she all does on your PC.
Maybe thats the problem.. (your sister)

Or maybe its just something else really annoying.
Use programs like Norton or AVG, to scan your pc.
(Evrey week 1 time or evrey day)
Or Just clean your PC 1 time in the month
(It really helps ;) )

Hope this all helps and you get ridd of the virus.
 
Well if that doesn't work there is a free program I know of (This is not me trying to give you any more problems!!!!!)(Mods, please understand, if this is against the rules, just tell me/warn me/KILL ME.) the program is called Ad-Aware it gets ride of hijackers and other poo in your computer. Search for it on google. It makes my like much more easier.

Ah, it's a hijacker. I hate them with a passion as they're nearly impossible to remove. In the event of a hijacker, I usually reformat the hard drive and reinstall Windows.

Reformat the HDD? You offer some pretty idiotic advice. There is always a way to get rid of hijackers without reformatting.

Instead of explaining how to remove it myself, here's just one website that lists everything you need to do step-by-step. I'd advise krazyelements241 to follow part 4 about deleting the registry keys as this will remove all traces of the spyware off your HDD; simply uninstalling the AbsoluteKey program usually won't fully resolve the problem.
