Pop Unders

Black Eyed · 09-03-2005, 11:43 AM

I've been having a problem with a certain pop under lately. I don't use IE, but other people use it in this PC and everytime it's opened there's this annoying window which shows up automatically. It hasn't happened with Firefox, but yesterday I noticed it saved the page on my desktop with the Firefox icon (which is my default browser). The link directs to a casino page, www.888.com.

I've never dealt with pop unders before, so I was wondering if there's any way to stop them or even if it could be malware since no one's loading any pages related to it, it opens by itself. Ad-Aware and Spybot don't detect anything and pop up blockers obviously don't help.

Your OS seems to be infected with malware. Click on the greyknights link below and follow the steps. Post your hjt log under hjt log help forum to get an expert analyst help.

Good Luck.
