I have just recently started getting a million pop ups and I ran windows live one care that located a "gadcom" file…related to trojan virus. OC has located and supposedly removed the same files several times. This virus is making babies!!! What is a good program to remove this and make it stop coming back?
you need to do a spyware scan with whatever you use, there are many great free products like superantiapyware free, malwarebytes, and a squared free, here are some links for you, good luck….

sorry NJ, trojans are not viruses!
Spyware scans do not get everything all of the time. Tojans are really hard to get rid of. I would suggest that you go to cybertechhelp.com and register with their forums. Then post your problem in the Virus sections. They will guide you through Hijack and other stuff and help you completely eliminate your virus!!

It’s fairly straight forward and although it can take a while, it’s thorough and works. We had a computer stuck in Safe Mode until I ran through that cleaning guide on it.
Use these. You won’t have any problems and they are easy to operate.
