Typical Malware issue

So I just jailbroke my iphone and while searching for roms for my gameboy emulator and I acquired stupid malware thats ive had before in the past but I cant remember how to get rid of it, here are the symptoms:

 

1) either 2 IEXPLORER.exe or firefox.exe processes running in task manager.

2) every 5-15 minutes a new window based on the current open browser will open with a random spam ad or youtube video.

 

Oh and adaware will not install so I have no other way of detecting it and removing it, haven't ran HJT yet so yeah any similar experiences or advice?

Omg juicy I just had that problem 2 days ago... But I really don't have a Solution... I had planed to install windows 7 the next day after getting that malware crap... So yeah I wiped my drive and installed windows 7... Oh and no virus scan or adaware program will work even if you try to install one it won't let you...

I fixed it; Download Spybot S&D and do a quick scan using IExplorer not mozilla, then download adaware and do another full scan, remove, restart, and your fresh.
