Re: Adware removal
Thanks for any replies in here. I have Spysweeper now and it did remove the virtumonde adware. But I am still getting pop-ups from somewhere. Ive run everything I can think of and nothing is being detecting. Does anyone have any mroe suggestions?
My pop up blocker through Internet Explorer is set so that it blocks all pop-ups. Ive actually got these pop-ups to happen when I am just looking in the My Computer folders. I thought that was pretty weird. One of the popups that I remember brought up a Party Poker page. Started with the real address too. Other ones had ads for Winfixer I believe. |

Re: Adware removal
Just an update here. I am using Mozilla Firefox now instead of Internet Explorer and the pop-ups seemed to stop. Web pages also load faster. Im not sure if it will be this way tomorrow. I hope so. I dont't mind using Firefox now but should I uninstall Explorer from my computer and try to download it again to see if the problem is from there or just scrap it all together?

Re: Adware removal
Are you running the scans while in safe mode? This is key for a lot of stuff to be removed.
Also for Adaware/Spybot make sure you update your definitions before scanning. |
