This was very helpful. On my machine with this problem, the files were named "rico.exe"
and "lbc.exe". Deleting these files appears to have solved the problem with Belgiandip
pop ups. Spy Sweeper claimed to remove the adware, but it just came right back on
reboot until I deleted these files manually. However, Spy Sweeper did help me identify
the source of the problem, whereas AdAware and SpyBot could not. Check in both c:\windows
and c:\windows\system32. By the way, they were attributed to "Thunderdome", not
"werule" or "totempole".
