Though Opera is my current browser of choice, I have to use IE for certain sites. From doing that I picked up a nasty adware/trojan, Look2me, I think. Pop-ups all the time in Opera, and it even does these super annoying flash pop-ups that pop-up no matter what program I am in (I think I got rid of those by disabling something or other in browser settings).

I disconnected the Internet, rebooted in safe mode and ran Norton 2006, Ad-Aware, and Spybot. Got rid of a bunch of stuff. Rebooted in normal mode, ran all three again, the only thing that showed up was Look2me, Norton says it got rid of it. Connect the Internet again, and two minutes later Norton has a pop-up saying it has detected Look2me and suggests a new scan. The pop-ups are still there.

Anyone know what to do, or know where I can look for help? Any help is much appreciated.

I tried this, and it got rid of my Opera pop-ups, but I am still getting occasional pop-unders from IE, even though I don't have IE open. I'll run a couple more scans and see what happens...
