Why such extreme measures just to take off a virus........

you could bring it by the nerd cave this weekend, i have couple of operating systems that are on cd's. since you know where the program is, you can boot up an independent operating system to nuke the file from orbit

do you have a spyware/adware program installed? if you dont i would recomend it....
I have ad-aware, and I have ran it 5 times.. It can't find it.

I'm going to try the safe mode way now, and I don't realy want to delete everything and start over... I would need to spend hours re-updating every thing

I will not let me reboot into safe mode.. I can't even find the option.

I'm running Windows XP Pro, what should I do now?

[PSiedTSi]

to get into safe mode you have to hold F8 when you boot up...

[out there]

continually press f8 while the machine is booting, if you see the windows splash screen, reboot and try again.
all you need is a cd of knoppix or any of the other linux distributions that are designed to run from a single disc.

F8 was not bringing it to safe mode, but I got rid of it thank god..

Thanks for your help guys!!!

Pokapoka78.exe is placed into your computer by PartyPorker. The only way to delete this spyware is to download a program calls HiJack, run the program, and delete whatever that ends in Pokapoka78 or etb. Try using Firefox, and click do not allow website to install software from preference.
