Exe File Has Totally & Utterly Disappeared
Ancient Sim:
HijackThis was one of the programs I ran during my clean-up campaign, but it didn't find anything. So far so good, no sign of those pesky pop-ups anymore and everything seems to be working normally. My new program alerts me whenever anythng tries to worm its way in and so far it's only picked-up on one thing. I am keeping it running all the time now, to be on the safe side. I had a tendency to turn my virus-checker off when I was playing the game, so it wasn't on when I got this virus, which is my own fault really, otherwise AVG would have stopped it.

It is pretty stupid to turn off your virus scanner, unless you also completely sever any net connections and have done a complete scan beforehand.
Glad you have gotten a working system back.

I don't use virus scanners much, they disagree with my pets.

A virus scanner will do absolutely no good if you get one of those kernel-infecting viruses. The only solution in that case is to wipe and reinstall.
