Need more help

I think its a virus, I have Ad-Aware updated and ran it several times and (except for first time) it didnt find a thing. But I keep getting windows popping up (mildly every now and then, not too annoying as in not all the time) i get a window thats like titled "Messenger Service" (even though i have no messengers, internet, or anything running, in background or normall) and it has advertisements with a phone number like for medicine or penis enlargement pills. How do i get rid of this anyone know? I have a Screenshot of one of the screens so email if you wanna see it....... if ya think it will help.

I heard it was supposed to be the Army of the Winged Monkeys from the Wizard of Oz, but I might be wrong.

Mmm, try "Spybot: Search and Destroy". It is a spyware scanner that is a little more sensitivie than Ad-Aware. Apart from that, empty your browser cache, delete all cookies, and then run a trojan scanner such as "The Cleaner". That should help to eliminate the problem. By the way, you haven't installed anything like *shudder* Gator have you? Or any "free" search bars?

I use ZA as well, and the pop-up/ad-blocker that it has is excellent. The "Kerio Personal Firewall" is also supposed to be quite good, however I have never used it. It is freeware, as I recall.
