My computer recently got the W32.Myzor.FK@yf virus which I think I got rid of using the smithfraud program (That annoying warning is not coming up anymore!) However I am still receiving pop ups (Noticed they are always the same ones) unless I set the privacy tag on high, I never used to have to do that , and that limits some sites that I use(Yahoo being one!) I do have a pop-up blocker obviously as well as AVG virus protection and trial AVG Anti-Spyware %26 when I run a scan, it comes up with nothing. Besides setting the privacy tag on high(Which isn't always 100%), is there another way, that I've missed, to stop those annoying pop-ups?
HELP!!! Stuck in Pop-up Hell!?product key
That sounds like adware.
I suggest you download Ad-Aware SE and Spybot S%26D (they鈥檙e free), install them, update them and run them. If they don't seem to be able to get rid of everything they report finding, try running them again, this time in Safe Mode. Safe Mode prevents many instances of malware from loading and protecting itself against deletion of its files.
Also, turn off System Restore to evict any copies of bad stuff that might be lurking there.
To get into Safe Mode:
1.Log out and reboot your machine.
2.When the machine starts the reboot sequence, press the F8 key
3.Select Safe Mode from the resulting menu.
