Random Popup's

crevio · Commander **Joined**: 19 Apr 2009

For some reason now my Browser will automatically open up and display an add. I have pop up blocker on and my firewall is running. Did a damn TrojanHorse find it's way into my com some how? Like maybe a TrojanProxy or something? How can I fix this? I've already did a virus scan and nothing!Any Clues?

Browser? If its FF, do you have Ad Block Plus on?

I use InternetExplorer7, pop up blocker is on, and also phising filter is on, as well as my firewall w/no exceptions. I also have running AVG AntiVirus and AVG AntiSpyware. So this should not be happening but it is.

Get rid of IE7. There is no real reason to be using that when everybody else is superior.

Firefox for one kicks the shit out of IE (any version).

Firefox has his bugs too,IE is for those who want zero bugs.

But other than that,FF pwns IE.

ok I switched over to FireFox and made FireFox my default broswer but That damn random add crap keeps poping up thru IE. I cant remove it because I have programs that rely on it. So what do I do now just uninstall it and hope for the best?

Get Malwarebyte's antimalware, and do a complete system scan. It has worked for me.

Delete Internet Explorer.

I got this crap fixed, I had to reinstall Window's cause for some reason whatever was in my computer wouldnt allow me to install or run any maleware or spyware programs at all. and my antivirus software, even updated couldnt find it. must be something new. and whatever it was it kept scanning my harddrives even with my firewall set to lockdown. But I reported it, so hopefully they will figure out what the hell it was.

I have another tip - don't be an idiot.

crevio · Commander **Joined**: 19 Apr 2009

Nice tip Dark. but anyway I assure you it will not happen again.I have my antivirus and spyware set to scan any and all files that I should happen to download for backdoor trojans and sneeky shit that may be inside the files.

Protip:

Never download files from places you don't trust at all. While many DL sites police their shit and keep em malware free, some do the opposite side of the coin and do every bloody damn thing they can do to spread em.
