My Firefox browser, and even when I try IE every now and then opens a new window that directs to sites I have nothing to do with such as scott trade and some medical site, and the one it most often comes up is this

http://protectionfastscanner.com/360/1/en/_freescan.php?sid=770522168440

That usually comes up after this fake ass warning window that says "omg ur pc may b at risk! lolol" Okay, well it doesn't say that, but you get the drift.

Another one that comes up is this page that says "we detected anomalies in your browser use, etc"

http://www.blockedclick.com/index.php?sub=1641847098&pub=83

The only anomaly is that my browser is working by itself! I ran my anti-virus (Trend Micro Internet Security) and ran an old version of Ad-aware that picked something up and supposedly quarantined it.

Another problem I'm having is I can't get Microsoft Auto Updates on, I tried running services.msc and doing it through there, but it keeps saying it won't work because it's not associated with devices or something like that. I wonder, is this related?

So, please help! Is there a different scanner that I should run that works better? Is this a popular piece of adware? How do I get rid of this?

This may be a bit extreme but its what i would do make a back up of all your important files. Now format the hard drive and load your OS back on. Other than that try avg free.

That seems incredibly extreme. :(

You should download hijackthis and run it after install and post the log here.

Hah, shit, I think we have the same thing.

And I believe I got it after clicking a link in SG to MLoR's 'suicide soundclip'.

Always opens popups in firefox, never IE, but they always come up no matter what browser I use.



Eh, but I'm planning on formatting anyways.

Download ^^^^ Superantispyware and run it after install and that should take care of the problem.

I downloaded it, and it's still scanning, but a bunch of stuff is coming up, I hope this works!

Also try Advance Windows Care 3.0 it's free and it really works.

I saw those also but no hijaker showed so superantispyware should take care of the nasties,

AWC 3 will be good to run afterwareds to remove the left behind traces.

10 to 1 u have the virtumode virus

Also try Advance Windows Care 3.0 it's free and it really works.

Congratulations, you just gave yourself a severe trojan downloader my friend. You need to format your computer, don't even bother backing up since your files are probably all infected by this point.
