Do you have any antivirus software? If so, which one and have you run a full virus scan yet? What did it find?

[igglepiggle]

yeah i bought one online today and it said it found 16 of some sort and then loads of another, cant remember that amount. i have done the full scan but it is still menus popping up every 2 seconds:(

What antivirus did you buy?

What did it find 16 of and loads of? Before we can help you get rid of those, we need to know what they are called.

Can you reboot and run another scan and see if it is still finding something?

I recommend you download a copy of 'Spybot Search & Destroy' from

http://spybot.com/en/index.html

it's free and will remove many trojans, it's very easy to use and should keep you pc clean in future

myway.mywebsearch i have - 32 enteries pups

and

antispywaremaster - 11 entries malware

Unfortunately, Virus Remover 2008 is a well-documented malware installer. It will continue to download trojans to your PC until it is removed.

Read how to uninstall it here (http://webtoolsandtips.com/remove-spyware/remove-virus-remover-2008-uninstall-virusremover2008-free/). Hope it's not too complicated a process for you.

Check 'add & remove programs' in control panel do you have any 'myweb' programs installed, if so uninstall them.

Antispywaremaster is a rogue anti-spyware program to tempt you into purchasing their product to remove infections, it's best to remove this manually or a download can be found here (http://removers.volyn.net/2008/03/31/how-to-remove-antispywaremaster-antispywaremaster-remover-antispyware-master/) to remove antispywaremaster.
