I have AD-Aware too, it is very helpful.

I had to get Panda Activescan to remove them for me and then I had to install a security update for WinXP. All this from popups that install things that they shouldn't >:|uh you mean SASSER.exe ? if so thats a virus. I have Spybot Search & Destroy I used to have Ad-Aware bt Spybot Search & Destroy works faster

yeah sasser.exe is that new virus that is going around the internet... make sure you update your windows, use a firewall or have a router.. if anyone needs detailed instructions on removing this virus, I have that as well as a link to the removal tool...
nasty viruses! think they own the internet *shakes fist*

If you get something you just can't get rid of with clicking on teh X or ALT + F4 then press CTRL + DEL + ALT and close it that way.

And if that don't work.. (It just crashes my PC), I just put it behind everything else, with Alt+TAB

Panda Activescan and AD-Aware have fixed my computer, everything else they can't get I have to go through the regedit.exe and fix it MYSELF. I have this annoying popup that everytime I go online, even at yahoo.com, it brings up a porno ad. Ad-aware and Panda Activescan cannot get rid of it either, I'll just have to manually do it myself.

I wouldnt edit your registary manualy unless you either are an IT expert or have a backup on your HD somewhere if you mess up.
