Have this on my computer. It opens up new browser windows occasionally. I have scanned it with at least 10 antivirus/spyware programs but no good. Any one successfully removed it?

Check your browser extensions, i found a sneaky bastard hiding there before, and it was in all my browser extensions. You could also try running msconfig from your start menu, check that nothing strange is getting loaded up there at startup. That will help get you closer to the solution, let us know how you go after those 2 actions.

google "hijackthis" ... program is great for seeing what automatically launches as you start your computer. You can typically find suspicious stuff there and disable it from auto launching
You may have to run task manager as you do and end-task the suspicious .exe file immediately before you clear with hijackthis so the exe file doesn't replant itself after you clear it.
