Annoying popup
 
I keep getting a popup from lpcloudsvr302 telling me to update/buy/download whatever. The problem is that I only get it when I come to Subsim. I've been online looking for an answer, and I've tried every single change to my settings different sites have suggested, all with no luck. Most of the different sites say that it can be easily fixed by their latest, greatest free product. I've resisted trying any of them so far on the chance they'll just lead to something worse. None of the virus killers I've tried has had any effect.

Has anyone seen this and know how to deal with it?

Been there, done that. None of the listed programs show up with either Windows uninstaller or IoBit Uninstaller, which is far better. And, as I said, the last link is "download our super-duper program".

No thanks.

[edit] One of the listed programs is MalwareBytes. I've used it before and know it to be safe. We'll give it a shot.

Tried Malwarebytes. Still getting the popup.

I use RougeKiller first. Then Malwarebytes. Catches most problems.
Then if needed? I run Combofix.

Thanks, Jeff. Just downloaded it. I'm currently running a deep scan with MalwareBytes, so I may not be able to try it until tomorrow.

Hope you can get rid of it. I find it odd that it only pops up at Subsim.

So do I. I can't figure that part out. I just ran a full scan with MSE. Took 17 hours. "No Threats Found".

That's cause Subsim is the only website he goes to :arrgh!:

Anyone else seeing this? I am not, but that does not mean there is no problem.

Steve, visit some other vBulletin 3.8 forums, see if that has anything to do with it.

Not really, but you're right, it is pretty much the only vBilletin site I frequent.

Good idea. I will try some more.

Do you have any "Ubirats of interest"? :hmmm:

I share Steve's frustration, this being one of the regular topics of conversation during our almost daily Skype discussions.

Personally, I don't have the same bother and all the programmes I use have been tried by Steve but none have sorted out the problem.

Most frustrating.
