    v73.us Spyware on Windows 2000

    Ok. This v73.us hijacker in Internet Explorer is driving me insane for some time now. Everytime i start Internet Explorer, i get about 60 Popups, all pointing at v73.us.

    I have tried all spyware scanners ever made Hitman Pro has runned atleast 8 times, AdAware, Spybot S&D.. I Tried to delete the Registry Keys with HijackThis all the time, but not one of them is able to find the executable which regenerates all those Registry Keys. They keep coming back..

    This is my HijackThis Log:
