    i keep gettin them, now these arnt normal popup, i dont mean when i visit a site i get a popup from that site. they are on my machine because it dosnt matter what sites i visit, they are always a couple of the same popups, and they even come up before the site has actually loaded. usually ilead and some game popup, i have tried everything, spybot, deleting temps, checking startup, profile temp folders. no luck!
    spybot finds vx2/f removes it but run spybot again and it back?

    SteveS--Look at the top of those windows. Does it say Messenger Service in the Title bar? If so you may want to get rid of Messenger Service.

    If it does not say Messenger Service is there any other description of where the message is coming from? (like maybe Windows Messenger--a different program)
    Please tell us what versions of Windows and Internet Explorer you are running.

    As far as Vx2 is concerned, close IE before removing it, disconnect from the internet, and then run SpybotS&D and remove and reboot.
    AdAware also has a Vx2 removal tool.

    However, you may have to install AdAware to be able to run it.
