Popups! I don't even use IE!

Daley347 · 08-10-2007, 03:17 PM

Well, i'd say it started after I installed Norton 360. (A Week or so ago). And since then, Internet Explorer has been popping-up every now and then. I don't even use IE, I use Firefox. So how can I block IE ?

When IE pops ups, does it display any webpages?

Yeah, it does. Seems to be gambling ones or false security software. The usual rubbish..

Well I am pretty sure that you have a virus infection, at least we found the problem

I would recommend that you go here; read and follow the instructions very carefully; then, post all the requested logs and information; as instructed, to here. (Just click on the coloured links.)

Once done, please be patient, as the Security Team Analysts are usually very busy; one of them will answer your request as soon as they can.

Good luck

Please also remember DO NOT post your logs in this thread, please start a new thread here. (Just click on the coloured link.) and post the logs.

Kind regards.
