O.P. Random IE Popups
Hey,

I read a few things here, but they didnt help hence why I am posting here :)

I recently was a noob and opened a .exe file without scanning it (dumb me :P) and it so far installed some stuff I didnt want.

It installed something in which I immediatly uninstalled in Add/Remove Programs (forgot the name tho)

I scanned my pc with Ad-Aware SE 1.6r1 Professional Edition and Spybot Search and Destroy, Panda Titanium Antivirus and Antispyware, Nod32 and around 10 other onlie scanners such as symantec virus check, Panda ActiveScan, housecall (or something like that :P) etc...

They all removed spyware, adware and viruses like they are supposed to do....how ever one problem remains, I keep on getting Random Internet Explorer Popups

This started all when I was stupid and opened that dodgy exe :(

The scans did not fix it and I also rescanned in safe mode which did not help...as I still get popups coming at the most random times, I am surfing a site on FireFox, boom IE Popup about something, I am about to double click Minesweeper....boom IE Popup....it happens all the time when I dont expect it and its making me mad.

I just want to get rid of this problem

Can anybody help?
Thanks in Advance,
SonicSam

edit: just got a popup and the url was "http://www.cannis.org/?refid=wp_globe&link=ap"
