Hello, I connected my new computer to my router to set Norton Antivirus online. While doing so, I launched an IE browser. All of a sudden a ton of popups starts coming up connected to the same yahoo page. I had to unplug the ether[thumb=][/thumb]net cable to finally get this to stop. Since then, it has not happened any further.

I connected Norton and ran a full scan and no issues were found. I installed Spybot Search and Destroy and found no issues either. I am worried that something is hidden evading my scans.

Attached is the result of a HiJackThis run.

Thanks for your assistance.
