--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
i have done all the right things in trying to clean all this spyware/adware off my computer but there is one that has me baffled. i'm not sure what it is called but when it pops up there is what appears to be a domain address in the address bar. then sometimes that domain address changes to a website. the domain address shows one of two things. either 69.42.87.204 or 69.42.87.221. when it directs to a website, it is either begin2search.com or popupsearches.com. it also makes random words on websites a hyperlink. if you pass over them with your mouse it says sponsored link. if you click them it will take you to one of the previously mentioned sites. i have ran adaware, spybot s&d, CWShredder, macafee virus scan, and i have spyware blaster running. can anyone help?
