Major Popups Lately

[tdinc]

Follow this steps.... and see if this works Bman.

you could be a victim of a drive by Malware. Winfixer...etc. if that does not work try this program by F-secure

http://www.f-secure.com/sw-desc/virtumonde.shtml

I also recommend if you do not have this. but Spywareblaster is a must it immunizes and blocks any future rouge ActiveX and spyware addresses. http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html

One of the earlier links someone was talking about SUPERAntiSpyware program, which at first I thought oh ok NO. Read a few more about it and the majority said it works with this type of virus/spam crap. So I ran that, and the program actually found 89 related files to Virtumonde (Vundo), removed it and restarted.

So far so good but I have said that again.. If continues, next on the list is your idea tdinc...thanks.

yes SUPERAntiSpyware is becoming a very good program and its free. I also fot to mention is run CCleaner to remove all the excess left over cookies and garbage.

Some things that pop up

Adult Friend Finder, $1000 Free Casino Cash....

The only websites that I have up regulary are

Facebook, Digg, Twitter, OSNN, Neowin, Deviantart, Revision3, Wegame....

again, this is a weird new problem....

Digg.com, do you click on many of the articles? I have found that many of the web sites linked from Digg contain newer ad code that pops up windows when you click anywhere on the website (even on text that is not a hyperlink), thereby bypassing certain restrictions on pop-up windows and whatnot.

I tend to get NetFlix, and Adult Friend Finder things as well.

Yea I forgot to add that, when I ran SUPERAntiSpyware, after rebooting 2 errors came up looking for .dll, ran CCleaner and its all good!

Yes I do click on most of the links on digg. Though I have been doing it for 5 years now i believe, no issues, but yes that could be where they came from. I am thinking it might just been that one file I forgot to scan, who knows.

Hope it stays clean.


And stop clicking on them "add 2 inches to your whoo whoo dilly" links. You know you can't grow a tree from a dead stump anyway.

hi.

i was doing a search and found this site and you uys really seem to know what you talking about. I have been having the same problem. I have not been going to any new websites and I have done everything that has been said. I tried hijackthis, spybot - search and destroy, avast, f-vmonde, CCleaner, among MANY other things. for some reason, i am stil getting all these pop ups. from $1000 free casino cash, OVGuide, University, and a registrydefener. i cant stand it anymore. does ANYONE know why this is happening?

hi Miss Ashley - welcome to the forum. Your first post has been approved..

So, the first place to start would probably to post a recent hijack this log here for people here to take a look at.

 

[super-nova]

We upgraded to the latest version of firefox & now we're getting all sorts of pop ups, the same one you're describing here.

Here's my hijack this log:
