Help! I have done everything and still cant kill pop-ups

Hi Folks

Firstly I am sorry, I know a lot of this is covered in the sticky thread, but I have tried all the suggestions in there and they work temporarily, but next time I reboot these popups are back!

I had used Adaware (updated version of), Spyboy, Crap Cleaner, Trend Micro house call virus scanner etc... done all those things, each time I run them they find this VX2 malware and remove it. I reboot, and its back!!! What oh what can I do to permanently get rid of it? I know a pop-up blocker will do exactly that (block the pop ups) but I want to treat the cause, rather than masking the symptoms... Even did a search through the registry and cant find any entries regarding it!

Its a popup that appears advertising different things (casinos, Ebay, viagra etc) each time you open a new internet explorer window

Any thoughts???

again I am sorry, I did read all the way through the sticky thread, and am still stuck with the problem....
