Pop up keeps coming back?

Something has been implanted on my computer. My firewall picked up 2 trojans and deleted. For some reason a sneaky pop up appeared and I tried to close it, well I clicked the wrong x and now I have this pop up with freaky ads. I scanned my computer with Spybot Search & Destroy, Avira Antivirus Personal and Pest Control. It picked and destroyed virus and other junk. So the next day that crazy pop-up shows up again! So I download Ad-Aware 2008 recommending by C-Net, it picked up additional crap the other ones missed and fixed some other stuff.

The thing is the pop-up add still comes up, execpt its now missing the ad. Its a blank pop-up, and it just says advertisement on the header. It seems Ad-Aware did not completely remove it.

How do I get rid of it?

    My firewall picked up 2 trojans and deleted.- NOT POSSIBLE.

    You've run a lot of scans; do the following:

    boot in safe mode & run Avira - if this finds nothing very un likely you have a virus.

    hang on - do you have any of the following on your PC:

    Messenger Plus! Live? (gives CiD pop ups)

    zango (makes its money from spyware (pop ups))

    If you don't have these on your PC do a free online scan:

    THATS sturdy THAT IT retains popping out! once you first popped it you get carry of the white stuff on the authentic of the zit. yet each and each time once you pop it, your pushing up all the different stuff thats DEEP on your pore. it somewhat is sturdy. shop popping it till ultimately its thoroughly long gone. I recommend when you pop it to bathe it with a undeniable outdated bar of cleansing soap. The compounds interior the cleansing soap circulate deep into the pore, on the grounds which you already popped it and its a exceedingly lots extensive open pore, it is going to do its interest. I HATE those pimples. sturdy success(*:
