I have this little program running in the background that, when I don't turn it off, it pop ups porn. Everything works fine if I just go into Task manager and shut it down myself, but that gets tedious every time I boot my computer up.
Any ideas on how to go about finding this pesky little bastard and killing it? I have Ad-Aware, Spy-Bot, and Spyware Blaster but none of them find it.

Total freeware security solution (works perfectly for me, and I'm pretty security-conscious):
avast! anti-virus
Sygate Personal Firewall
Ad-aware
Spybot S&D
Of course, using IE and/or OE is a very bad idea. Get decent things, Opera, Mozilla, Eudora, Thunderbird.
If you need a freebie utility for something, Google. If you're still stuck you can e-mail me, I'll prolly have something
