Support NeoGAF

[GSG Flash]

It keeps on opening a new tab on firefox every 5 minutes while I'm browsing, and Internet explorer is hell because it just opens 2 popups which take forever to close everytime I open IE. Can anyone please give me tips on how to get rid of this? I already tried the big spyware thread at majorgeeks (i think it was?) and that just crippled the spyware for a bit but now it's back. Here's my Hijack this log if needed and any help would be really really appreciated as I'm on the verge of just nuking my hard drive.

I haven't tried webroot, but I have tried Spybot numerous times and it did mostly nothing.

What about Ad-Aware?

What about Ad-Aware?

Tried that more times than I can remember, I've also tried virus scanning and doing all of this in safe mode and it always finds something but not everything, so it just keeps coming back
