Question Can't get rid of virus

I have apparently got a virus from an unknown DL which I can't get rid of. I have tried all my anti-virus programs and nothing touches it, It is a ad for Popcorn.net that comes on everytime I go somewhere from IE, it is not damaging anything that I can tell just annoying as hell! Has anybody else caught this bug and killed it???

It's not a virus, it adware or spyware and, it seems, your browser has been hi-jacked.

Try Ad-Aware SE & Spybot.

PS. you could also try downloading MS Defender.

I tried spybot, it doesn't see it. I tried ad-aware a couple of months ago before I got the spyware or whatever it is and it kept locking up my comp. I'm going to try Norbiesworld, I've heard good things about it. I'm waiting on registration now.
