Apparently, I had a virus masking itself as services.exe.
i removed it, but now I'm left with the registry keys to run it at start up. And I haven't the slightest clue where it'd be. so if anybody could help, that would be great :] |

If you don't want things to automatically run on startup, you can go into msconfig and disable them.
Start--->Run--->type in msconfig Go to the startup tab, and uncheck what you don't want to load at startup. If you want to get rid of registries you don't want, that's what regedit is for. start--->run--->type regedit. Be very careful when messing around here though. |

the disclaimer or whatever that comes with hijackthis says that it only scans the stuff, and it doesn't fix anything.
oh and msconfig only fixed one of the pop-ups. there's another one, but it's a minor irritation. |
