I keep getting pop ups at random times without doing anyhing, they are mostly ads for ebay with something to do with the thg im searching on google, now i have google toolba which should block these, and AOL spyware protection which should remove the adware causing this, and on top of all that i have macaffe that sould of dealt with it too! But none of these programs have destroyed the problem and its a nuisne because the pages will just open randomly when im trying to work. Also in the taskbar a red circle with a white exlamation flashing inside it keeps popping up saying i may have a virus, but when i click it it just takes me to a really crappy unofficial looking window about some lame looking virus removal tool, so i think that red circle might be a virus too... also on top of these problems i've had the taskbar dissapear for a minute are come back, so i assume explorer is shutting itself down randomly for no reason... all these problems are a nuisance and none of the programs i use seem to solve them... i need help urgently cos they have gone beyond "nuisance" to flat out "f*** off i just want to get my work and casual internet surfing done!" Excuse the language but that's how annoying it is.

Run some on-line scans: Ewido and Trend Micro Housecall (google will find)

If they don't clear the problem, follow the advice here:-

If you need to post a HJT log, it's not this forum, the specialist malware techs operate on the HJT board.

You need a firewall too don't forget. A Firewall and a HOSTS file will be the main blocker of ads and such related sites. If you keep getting ads as such, you obviously have a leak hole somewhere in the security setup or configurations.

I'm scanning now, i'll post the result soon.

 

[razthehedgehog]

Well it will get near the end of scanning with the AVG scanner and then cause a runtime error, i dont know where to start with firewall settings... so anymore help?

 

[razthehedgehog]

BUMP

REALLY need help guys!

post your hijack log in the hijack log section of security

Hi razthehedgehog...

as Dai has just suggested, it will be a good idea to post your Hijack This log file in the appropriate section so one of our analysts can advise you further. Please read through this thread first as it explains the steps to take before posting the log.

Hope that helps

 

[razthehedgehog]

Right, now how do i do that? The link posted only advises what you do before you post a log, how do i GET a log?

 

[nickster_uk]

The link includes a link to download Hijack This which is ina selft-extrating archive. All you need to do is run it, select to Perform a system scan and save a log file. When it's done, notepad should open up with the log, all you need to do is cut n paste the contents into a new thread on the HJT forum.

 

[nickster_uk]

Download it here if you can't find the link:

Most of the underlined words in the HJT link will be active links that are clickable.

 

[razthehedgehog]

Ok i posted the log in the HJT forum...

 

[nickster_uk]

Ok..all you need to do now is wait for an analyst to review it for you.
