    Angry Popup ads are killing me, Malicous Urls **RESOVLED**

    I had somehow visted a website that planted some type of virus or malicous url on my PC. I call it malicous because it randomly pops up ads (including porn) whenever I am on the Internet. As far as I can tell, it does not delete files or settings. I finally downloaded a popup manager and added many of the bad urls to the hosts file as 127.0.0.1 so that they would not display. But it is still a problem, sometimes my popup manager WILL CLOSE UP TO 50 WINDOWS IN ONE SECOND.

    I have tried clearing my cache, my history, and cookies but the popups still occur.

    One of the urls that routinely come up is

    traffic4sure

    How can I clear this crap...please help!!!
