I just un-installed PartyPoker and after such I get these adds from IE that popup out of no-where. I checked the task manager and after I close them, IE is not running.

I updated AdAware and Spybot and neither were able to stop them popups.

Help.

By the way: DAMN YOU TO HELL PARTYPOKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay firstly, i need you to calm down. I am a tech suppot rep and hate it when people call me and are bloody hysterical. (annoying) Okay, do it manually then, since you claim that you've used both programs. (I find it hard to belive because both those programs are great at dececting ad-aware/spyware) Look on your Drives and try and manually remove them. Also do a search on neowin and other tech sites. There might be some registry removals you can do.

Party Poker doesn't get blocked as spyware or malware by either Ad-Aware SE or Giant Antispyware.
Giant asks if you want to block or allow, Ad-Aware SE does nothing.
So to the "tech suppot rep" Gowcra, you didn't give any good "suppot" here.

MS Anti-spyware had a Definition Update today (this morning). Maybe give it another go and see how you go.

Also give this a try

Looks like you commented, to me, you should cool down and wise up a bit yourself.

I can't believe it. This POS didn't get removed after I used PGP's wipe from disk feature to totally destroy it. Im gonna get MS Antispyware and Giant and see.

Well, It seems that MS Anti-Spyware worked. If it didn't I will be setting my PC on fire.
