I have two really good Spyware removal programs, but none of them seem to be able to get rid of it all. I still get tons of pop ups, even with Mozilla Firefox.

Does anyone know any really good, extremely thorough ones?

Well, for starters, you need to make sure Firefox is blocking all your ads. Take a look at this thread and do what I recommend to him with Adblock, and then upload that filters list I uploaded (http://www.superherohype.com/forums/showthread.php?t=237385). From there, I recommend you download CCleaner. Very effective in cleaning out spyware, cookies and various other junk.

What are the two spyware programs you have?

Adaware has really improved as of late.

It recently caught things I didn't know I had.

I have Ad-Aware and Bulletproof Soft, and amazingly Ad-Aware catches MORE than Bulletproof.

Also, get Spybot.

Drakon, I did what you said and I still get tons of pop ups on Firefox. I ran THREE different Spyware programs and I still get it.

What am I supposed to do?
