xads?

I have a problem with pop-ups while surfing the web I have google search bar that takes care of pop-ups. except the ones that start off as xads.something. So I know there is some sort of program doing it. I ran Adaware but no such luck.

Here is the HijackThis report:

Thanks for the help!

 

First thing to do is move hijackthis.exe into a folder, don't run it from your desktop. Make a folder on your hard drive, like c:\hjt.


Run HJT again and check:
