Windows Pop-Up when tryin' to browse Files/Folders

[__Camouflage__]

I have Windows XP Professional SP2. I just recently (within the hour), started to get a pop up message ANY time I go try t browse files/folders on my computer. I have not installed anything on the computer, and I have not downloaded anything that would cause this. When I try to close the pop up, it takes me to a website. (IE AntiVirus) I have run AntiVir virus scans, SpyBot S&D, and have not come up with anything yet.

I had that problem with a work computer. It's adware and I used spybot which got rid of it. Make sure its totally up to date with the latest definitions before you scan though.

I fixed it, I used HiJackThis, and removed the following highlighted entry.

EDIT : I looked for the toplsan.dll on google, and have only found a few websites with it, and AntiVir detected it as a trojan, so I removed it.

Just removing that entry does not remove the Trojan. You do know that right? It will be right back on there with a restart. You need to use specific software to remove it. Which is why i told you to post this in the Analyze area for TechPro to analyze and advise you with this.
