It's called qlink32.dll. I open the folder, and it has an uninstaller. That doesn't get rid of it. I can delete the entire folder (or any part of it) and what I deleted comes back within seconds. I run Ad-Aware (with updates), Spybot (with updates), and do a system scan with Microsoft Antispyware and it finds it, but none remove the folder.
Any ideas? This thing is driving me insane.
Also, if you have any good ideas for pop-up blockers, recommend them. I just started getting a lot of them last night..

Nobody ever listens to me, but try running them in safe mode (hold F8 while restarting). It disables all unnessesary system processes. Then try scanning with the programs you're using, as well as a virus scanner (AVG or AntiVir are good...and free).

It has helped me get rid of every pesky spyware and add on crap I've ever had.

That's pretty sweet, I think I'll do that now.

That link helped things a lot. I'm still getting a few pop ups, but that's expected.
I got rid of a bunch of stuff that Ad-Aware didn't catch, and now have four other programs that detect all kinds of Ad-Aware.
The stupid qlink32.dll is gone now. It was deleted when I rebooted in safe mode. I'm going to start doing that more often.
Thanks! :)
By the way, I'll probably get Mozilla.
