Nothing obviously malicious in that log, but one item that should be removed.

Please run HijackThis and choose Do a system scan only.

Place a check next to the following entries:
  • O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [AlcxMonitor] ALCXMNTR.EXE
Please close all open windows except for HijackThis and choose Fix checked

Let's look a little deeper:

1. Please download this file - ComboFix to your desktop
2. Double click ComboFix.exe & follow the prompts.
3. When finished, it shall produce a log for you. Post that log in your next reply together with a new HijackThis log. Is there any particular pattern to the popups? Are they advertising anything in particular?

Note:
Do not mouseclick ComboFix's window whilst it's running. That may cause it to stall

OK, that's a little unfortunate. This adware usually has an uninstaller, but it appears that it's been removed by an antispyware program that hasn't dealt with the actual infection. Looks like we'll have to do it the hard way, which involves reinstalling Firefox and purging all it's files.

Please download the installer for Mozilla Firefox from http://en.www.mozilla.com/en/, but do not run it yet.

Please print these instructions, or copy them to a Notepad document as you will need to close your web browser for part of this fix.

Please uninstall Mozilla Firefox:
Please click on Start -> Control Panel -> Add or Remove Programs. If Mozilla Firefox appears, click on it and click Remove.

Please set Windows to show hidden files:
  • From any folder, select the Tools menu and click Folder Options.
  • Select the View Tab.
  • Under the Hidden files and folders heading select Show hidden files and folders.
  • Uncheck the Hide protected operating system files (recommended) option.
  • Click Yes to confirm.
  • Click OK.

Please delete the following folders:
C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Owner.YOUR-03667082DE\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox

If there are any other user profiles on your computer, please also delete the following folder, replacing [User Name] with the actual user name for each.
C:\Documents and Settings\[User Name]\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox

Please reboot your PC.

Please run the Firefox installer you downloaded earlier and reinstall Firefox.

Please download Registry Search and doubleclick to start it. Enter adssite in the edit and click OK. Notepad will be opened with text in it (the file will be saved in the program's folder as well).

Please post the contents of that notepad document. Are the popups still present?
 
Here is what you requested

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

; Registry Search 2.0 by Bobbi Flekman © 2005
; Version: 2.0.5.0

; Results at 1/7/2008 8:16:18 PM for strings:
; 'adssite'
; Strings excluded from search:
; (None)
; Search in:
; Registry Keys Registry Values Registry Data
; HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE HKEY_USERS


[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\adssite]

; End Of The Log...
 
Please run Notepad and paste the contents of the codebox into a new file. Please do not include the word Code:
Code:
REGEDIT4

[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\adssite]

Save the file to the desktop as fix.reg and make sure the Save as Type field says All Files. Then please go to the desktop and double-click on fix.reg, and click Yes to merge it with the registry.

Are you still getting any adssite popups?
 
Some websites that i go to generate the pop up. I am not sure if there is still pop ups from adssite. I made a search in my registry and i found adssite in it any idea what to do about it.

Delete any registry entries mentioning adssite. Reboot and do another search and see if they are still there.

Were there any problems deleting the Firefox folders?
 
There was no problem deleteing the Firefox folders. It seems that there are no pop ups from adssite ads anymore. Thank you for you help and if I have anymore problems with adssite ads I will make sure to post again.

Glad to help.

Below I have included some ideas on how to prevent future infections.

Please consider using these ideas to help secure your computer. While there is no way to guarantee safety when you use a computer, these steps will make it much less likely that you will need to endure another infection. While we really like to help people, we would rather help you protect yourself so that you won't need that help in the future.

Please navigate to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com and download all the Critical Updates for Windows. These will patch many of the security holes through which attackers can gain access to your computer.

Please either enable Automatic Updates under Start -> Control Panel -> Automatic Updates or get into the habit of checking Windows Update regularly. They usually have security updates every month. You can set Windows to notify you of Updates so that you can choose, but only do this if you believe you are able to understand which ones are needed. This is a crucial security measure.

As a minimum, you need at least an antivirus, firewall and some type of anti-spyware program.

Some good free firewalls are ZoneAlarm, Kerio, or Outpost. All of these will provide a far greater level of protection than the firewall built into Windows.
A tutorial on understanding and using firewalls may be found here.

I notice you are running Spybot, which is good. You might want to consider installing and running some of the following programs; they are either free or have free versions of commercial programs:

SpywareBlaster
A tutorial on using SpywareBlaster to prevent malware from ever installing on your computer may be found here.

SpywareGuard
A tutorial on using SpywareGuard for real-time protection against spyware and hijackers may be found here.

If you use Internet Explorer, it is a good idea to use IE-Spyad which provides protections against malicious websites.

Please keep these programs up-to-date and run them whenever you suspect a problem to prevent malware problems. A number of programs have resident protection and it is a good idea to run the resident protection of one of each type of program to maintain protection. However, it is important to run only one resident program of each type since they can conflict and become less effective. That means only one antivirus, firewall and scanning anti-spyware program at a time. Passive protectors, like SpywareBlaster and IE-Spyad can be run with any of them.

Note that there are a lot of rogue programs out there that want to scare you into giving them your money and some malware actually claims to be security programs. If you get a popup for a security program that you did not install yourself, do NOT click on it and ask for help immediately. It is very important to run an antivirus and firewall, but you can't always rely on reviews and ads for information. Ask in a security forum that you trust if you are not sure. If you are unsure are looking for anti-spyware programs, you can find out if it is a rogue here:

Hopefully these steps will help to keep you error free. If you run into more difficulty, we will certainly do what we can to help. :)
