I've been having this problem for a couple of weeks now, and found this subject here
on this board over a week ago (as well as in a couple of other places). I've done
everything you described here.....and I am STILL having this pop-up window problem!
Not just with the belgiandip one, but having blank windows pop-up also. I got rid
of those pup and over files, but didn't find anything in my Windows Registry, nor
was there anything in my system32 directory.
I'm having the pop-up problem not only while browsing the web, but even when I am
OFFLINE, believe it or not! It seems to occur periodically when I open a new browser
window or when I close one out. I've also found some more detailed (and complex)
info on both the Symantec and McAffee websites. Also, I had to deal with this other
"adclicker" (as it turns out to be called) problem with something called alchem.exe.
I did find that and several corresponding files relating to it, and got rid of all
of them.
Please, please, PLEASE help me out here! This is driving me nuts, and I want to end
this once and for all!
I have windows98 but y have the same problen thar yours pls help me
