Are you getting too many advertisement popups from mtn5.goole.ws and popup.adv.net ?
Have you tried every malware or virus removal tools and still can’t get rid of the popup virus?
Download and try this removal tool over here:
Link 1: http://www.malwareteks.com/request11.html
Link 2: http://downloads.malwareteks.com/FixIEDef.exe
This tool removes the following:
AntiSpyPro, Antivirus 2010, Files Secure, IE AntiSpyware, IE AntiVirus, IEDefender, Malware Bell, Malware Protector 2008, RichVideoCodec, Total Secure 2009, “Fake Alerts” generated by Trojan-Downloader.Win32.Delf and Trojan-Downloader.Win32.Delf from the system.
For more information, read the instructions at http://www.malwareteks.com/FixIEDef.php
After that I suggest doing this:
Additional Steps To Clean It Once And For All!
1. Click Windows menu go to Start > Run or search box
2. Type “cmd” (if you’re using Vista, just type CMD in the search box)
3. This will bring up the command or DOS window
4. Now type “ipconfig /all”
5. The command will display the configuration of your LAN card and DNS information.
6. Look under DNS Servers. It should look something like this:
0.255.122.15
85.255.112.35
85.255.112.72
These entries are the exploiter: 85.255.112.72 and 85.255.112.35 !!
( A proper DNS entry assigned by your ISP would be like this – 52.69.254.141 or 83.16.21.25 )
7. Type “ipconfig /release”
8. Then type “ipconfig /renew”
9. Then type “ipconfig /all” to view the DNS server results again.
This will work if you are directly connected to the Internet through a broadband modem.
IF you are using a Router that connects to the Internet, then you need to fix the router first before doing it for your PC. If not, the DNS entries will overwrite itself again and your entire network (if you are fixing a whole office).
Here’s How to Fix the Router and Your PC:
1. Go to the administration of your router. Usually through your web browser.
2. Set all DNS entries to zero or 0.0.0.0.
3. Do a DHCP release and renew.
4. Do the earlier cleaning steps for your PC.
It worked for me and my office and notebook. TELL me if it doesn’t work.
IF you are behind a network or at office, you may need your IT administrator to help you.
For future protection of your browser, install the NoScript Addon for Firefox.
The above steps safely removed the goole.ws and popup.adv.net from my system. Hope it removes whatever virus or trojan for you too.

Hey there, this popup-thing is driving me crazy, and your otherwise excellent recipe didn’t help me.
I’m getting pop-ups from those two servers specifically, “popup.adv.net” and “mtn5.goole.ws”, so I was certain your method would solve it.
Info:
- I’m on a ZYXEL DSL router.
- “ipconfig /all” reveals two DNS servers, both starting with 212.242, but they’re provided by my ISP and the release-renew procedure doesn’t change anything there.
- I reset the ZYXEL router to default settings using the hardware RESET button, and then ran the configuration CD-ROM that come from my ISP. No change, I still get the pop-ups.
I also ran Spybot, FixIEDef and Adaware, and they found nothing.
I’ve been completely Adware and pop-up free since I switched to FireFox years back, so this really stresses me. I hope you can come up with a suggestion that will save me.
Thanks for the good work,
- Jonas

Hi Jonas, I almost became almost crazy with these 2 popups and tried so many things to get rid of them, but in vain.
Since I was getting these annoying popups since the last week I finally solved the thing by restoring my pc to a previous restore point dated before i started to have the trouble.
The miracle happened, no more these popups!

Hi! Sorry to tell you these, all those ipconfig/ bla bla and those removal tool are futile… I tried all those procedure from various sites and NOTHING happened… BUT THERE’S ONE SOLUTION I CAN OFFER! REFORMAT YOUR COMPUTER…
YES! popup.adv.net and others are malware but not related to any IPs. They came from a virus called boot.com with a resycled folder…
My mistake was i didn’t took a chance to see whats written in its autorun.inf… if i could have a chance I may trace its mother virus hidden somewhere in our PC that calling those popup ads.

Just try with Trojan Remover. It did remove the hidden service from my PC and the problem is gone.
