Then run Spybot and try then

Right. I'll let you know.

Dave et al... It let me delete the trojan beast, but pop ups have come up again as soon as I opened explorer.

And Firefox won't download properly

Do the popups have anything in common? Like a name or anything we can go by?

Yep they all have that little logo on left hand corner and I think they all say Favorit (I think) I only got one this time.

Right miss, go to the start menu, then control panel, then programs and features, then see if there is an entry in there for "Favorit"

If there is, click on it and click on Remove or Uninstall. Let me know what happens!

I found it...

But its not got the size of the file etc so does that mean thats not where it really is?

Also when I tried uninstalling it said that it was unabe to unninstall correctly do you want to try again with different settings so I clicked yes and nothing happened.

i suggest you DONT GO ON BANKING or anything that requires a login, shopping etc...

as if uve got stuff like that installed no doubt theyll be worse in there as well,

formatting is the safest option but ull need someone to do it for you by the sounds of it, u dont want to end up with a unusable pc lol.

Nor. Favorit is basically just an adware program that they use to advertise. All they do is run online gambling thing I think. It's not really that lethal, and will not need formatting. It's not a keylogger. Seriously...
