Ive tried Adware and a2 but none of them are turning up any results. There are several exe's that keep running themeselves and include pamm.exe, iinstall.exe, crss.exe -not the windows services 1, bhui.exe and arpa.exe. I think that i got it through WMP somehow, i ran CWShredder and it found and removed it. But i the exe's r starting themselves up. Every so often i also get a Windows Error Servie message (soo obviously fake) saying Spyware detected press ok do download removal program. Notepad isnt working, so i had 2 oen the Hijack this log in Word as follows.
