Spyware Stormer continues to give pop ups, I need to know how to get rid of it. I have tried Adaware, Macafee, and Spybot.

lol..... ur LOG is clean,,,,, nothing BAD :)
is ur messenger service running,,, if YES then disable it >> http://www.itc.virginia.edu/desktop/docs/messagepopup/

Also just try downloading this Popup Blocker >> http://www.synergeticsoft.com/docs/pop_up_blocker/
Direct Download link >> http://www.synergeticsoft.com/files/PB.exe

and Add those Spyware Stromer popups in its block list,,,, and next time they will be blocked by this tool :)

All the info I can find on Google says the 'Spyware Stormer' is as bad as the spyware it is susposed to remove.

If you have installed this software I'd recommend removing it. Though I can't see any evidance of it in your log file.

Try CWsherder at http://www.noadware.net/?hop=webcareer

You should purchase a program called X-Cleaner, from www.xblock.com.  I have been using it for the past year, and it works great.

CWshreder is OK, but try to stop the incomming.
The CWshreder has got some real good info on how the spyware comes in....
It has something to do with the XP version and the service pack installed or not.
Install service pack 1, then run the CWshreder

I am using Spy Sweeper and STOPzilla.  They work very well for my home PC.

Here are URL for these products:

http://www.stopzilla.com/download/download_select.asp?AID=10004&S=4&type=DOWNLOAD&topic=&source=&AAID=&dre=

Good luck!

I just had this problem!

Bring up Spyware Stormer.
Click on 'Advanced'.
Make sure Auto-Load Spyware Stormer with Windows' and 'ProActive Spyware Protection'
is unclicked.
Close window and restart.
Problem solved!!!
