Annoying IE Popup virus

Ok... My problem is this...

I have a virus that is causing IE to pop up every 2-3mins.. This minimizes out any full screen application Im running (game or movie) so it gets very very annoying!

I have somehow managed to stop it actually loading up IE but it still minimizes my applications and if I leave it for any length of time my computer will slow down because of so many IEs running in the background! Meaning I need to constantly keep task manager open to close the process constantly!

No virus scanners are finding anything and Im on vista so I have no way of getting rid of the disease that is IE!!!

Somebody please put me out of my misery!

Follow my instructions on how to clean malware that should take care of it.

I was having the same problem - a sudden IE window with an ad popping up every few minutes. I'm not very computery, so I ended up just going down my task manager and googling every process I didn't know. Eventually I got to vnrpack22.exe. The internet won't explain to me what vnrpack is, but it seems to think it is undesirable. Anyway, I ended the process, and now I've been 20 minutes without a pop-up (whereas before they were happening every 4-5 minutes). I need to work on actually fixing the problem, though.

check your control panel for, internet saver optimizer remove this stopped all my pop ups.

Same thing with me but when i download and use malwarebytes scanner and stuff it instantly gets uninstalled for some reason.
My only virus program is AVG and its working fine right now. I think its this msa.exe thing on my task list.
Check if you guys have it by openning task manager and checking your processes.
Here's what mine says:


msa.exe/ (user name)/ 05/ 107,716k/ msa

Turns out its a virus check on google its supposed to be a counterfeit Microsoft antivirus. Apparently it's major memory killer when using up 107 MB of memory thats 19% of my memory being wasted right there. (no wonder WolfTeam and CombatArms runs so slow!!)


**UPDATE**

I have discovered viruses by checking the process list of my task manager
You should try too and see if you find unnecessary processes

I'm with ohiou_grad_06

Install spybot search & destroy and update to the latest definitions.

Boot into safe mode and go through the clean up process *run spybot search & destroy*.

After the scan is complete, remove the malware that spybot finds. Also run through the immunization process to help prevent some further pop ups.

Reboot your OS and you should be clear of those annoying pop ups.


Hope this helps you please report back with how you went.
