    Constant popups

    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,

    hxxp://amch.questionmarket.com/adscgen/invite.php?survey_num=674221&site=4&code=675201&pic=gif&creativename=actnow_msn-300x250-3l-eng-nul&secs_up=60&type=popup

    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?

    FF Profile

    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:
