I have this nasty Firefox spyware that opens pop-under ads in IE. If I just browse in IE, no pop-under. It only happens in Firefox. I have both Spybot and Ad-Aware, but neither are picking this thing up. Sugguestions? Anyone having similar issues? Has anyone walked a mile in my shoes and conquered this demon!? HALP!?
Also, I have the official 4Chan Firefox extension. Could this be what's causing the trouble?
Thanks, guys.

I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox, and that didn't do squat. I uninstalled IE7, but that still left IE6. It turns out uninstalling that is a lot of trouble. It needs to be repaired so the original setup/uninstall file is put back in place, and in order to do that I need my original XP CD which I currently don't have on me! So right now, that's not an option.
I went in and commando-deleted a bunch of hidden cache and cookies left in IE6, but alas, I still have the pop-under. I reinstalled IE7 'cause why the hell not, and yes, I still have the problems.
I'm gonna go in Rambo style and see if I can clear it myself, but as of right now, I've made mum progress in getting rid of this thing. This is really pissing me off...
