I didn't do the online scan because I'm sure it's not a virus. Besides, from what other people have said online virus scans make you download a program that's near impossible to get rid of (which can be a good or a bad thing). Autodial is now disabled. I was reminded of someone who had told me about Spybot, but thanks for reminding me to actually get to it and download it. It found quite a few things that I got rid of. Now the popup thing has stopped along with (hopefully) everything else, but the thing where the home page automatically pops up and must re-direct to connect still happens. Haven't checked the log/allow list yet though...
I found out what that .cab file was: msiein.cab!! I can probably guess at most of its translation, but the second I is a mystery to me. It was one of about 15 files in a package that I got rid of with Adaware.
