Constant popups

Sáb 21 Nov 2009 11:21:34 UTC — tomgagaga

I think I'm in serious deep soup.

As I am resting from surfing the net, constant attempts to open my FF web browser leads me to go to this same site,

It's yellow, red, red, red. I don't understand. I did a boot time scan with Avast and it showed nothing. Ahhh.. Should I download Malwarebytes?

Try scanning with various anti-malware programs, (not just one).

FF Profile

Sáb 21 Nov 2009 12:01:40 UTC — g7w
Create a new Profile for Firefox.
Delete your curent cache/cookies; set FF to auto delete everything on exit.
Tools->Options
tick the check mark box for "Clear history when Firefox closes"
click Settings button for that option, ensure everything is check-marked.
clicking "OK" saves changes

Install BetterPrivacy add-on to delete those LSO's (those little Flash.SWF tracking files)

MalwareBytes...
MBAM should be installed on your PC, so... yeah, get a copy and install it, then do a full scan since it's your first use.

Get a second opinion

Even if Avast didn't find anything, there could still be something lurking. Remember that no AV is 100% efficient. Try one or more online scanners to check further: http://www.mywot.com/wiki/Online_tools (Online scanners also save you the trouble of installing/uninstalling)

If it's a very recent issue, maybe returning
to an earlier "system restore point"
could be an option..?

Btw, questionmarket.com gets lots of red comments here:
