Hello,
I have searched around about the problem that I have with my comp and I believe it is a Malware problem. I was lead here so I hope you guys can help. I think it has happened to other people but would rather follow explicit directions. Heres the problem.

I clicked on a link masked as my virus scanner. Since, random windows have been popping up, many of which with the same beggining url (http://sagipsul.com). It doesnt matter what type of browser I have open or if I dont have browsers open at all, pop ups will continue to come. I have ran avg and an adware removal and they seem less frequent, but still occur. Thanks ahead of time for your help. Here is my log.
