And you know this because.....:D

because I've clicked way too many.

This morning it got worse. Before I was only getting them when I'd go into an actual thread. Today I was getting them in the menus as well, and sometimes twice in the same visit.

I ran RogueKiller, and it seems to have done the job! Fingers crossed, but so far it's looking good. :rock:

Thanks, my friend. :sunny:

Nope, they're back again.

Try eset online scanner and combofix if eset doesnt find anything

Hi,

If Malwarebytes hasn't rectified it (i use the PRO version) then try TDSSKiller (it's by Kaspersky so it's legit!)

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/tdsskiller/

And after that if it still persists try ADWcleaner

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/

These are both hosted by Bleepingcomputer - these guys write programs for defeating Malware and are the good guys - i'm an IT tech and i trust these guys! used both these program previously with good results :)

hope this helps

Steve, disable the Windows Restore Function, if you did not so far. Windows XP keeps restoring deleted necessary files while booting, even if they are as necessary as malware files. As long as the function is enabled, you won't get rid of it...

I ran TDSSKiller, and it came up with "No threats found."

I ran ADWcleaner and so far I haven't seen any new popups. Fingers crossed again, but I'm not letting my hopes get too high until I know for sure. Thanks for those links.

Where do I find that? Remember, I'm an idiot where computers are concerned.

deactivate it on the C:\ drive. I hope it helps...

If the tools are not finding anything - then "danasan" is onto something, system restore could be restoring infected/malcious files!

I know I am the guy remembered for always bringing the bad news, but I'm sorry: Steve, youre system is corruoted, and no matter what you do and believe to have achieved in tweaks and reapirs - it will remain to corrupted until you play Global Thermonuclear War with your HD, to quote WOPR. It's grim, but its true.

Well, up to 8.30pm GMT last night he was still clear so fingers crossed :yeah:

That's good to know, now what about his PC? :hmm2:

Slowly dying of old age unfortunately and yes, I did understand the quip :smug:

So far, so good. :sunny:
