Spyware problem

My friend is experiencing a lot of Spyware problems. I told him to check for viruses, no viruses found, run spyware check with spybot, did that and fixed all problems, told him to repair IE, so it did and he is still receiving pop ups left and right, and sometimes not even browsing the web...

Spybot was not able to fix "new.net"..anybody got any ideas? I will try to get some more details to what he has installed on his system, etc.

Thanks guys!

Look in Add/Remove programs, there should be an option to uninstall New.net.
