Junk Pop-ups on the Forum
SemperFiGuy:
Well, I ran the Malwarebytes (free version). Wanted to see if it worked out before taking on the commercial version.
Started at Malwarebytes.com. Norton jumped in and said "NO-NO Bad Stuff!", so I tried Malwarebytes.org, which produced a legit-appearing scrubber. From which I ran a scan.
Got 17 quarantined items from the scan. Closed out the scan cycle.
Still got issues. In fact, the screen is jumping all over the place right now, even as I type here. It's like a kaleidoscope on steroids.
Funny thing: Norton doesn't seem to have a clue about any of these malware goings-on. In a few minutes, I'll run the Super-deep Norton scan and see if it makes a difference.
And maybe later try the AdBlockPlus.
And give up my Porn Sites??? Geeezz.... Be merciful!

Norton power eraser does work with some malware but mostly for a virus. Problem with malware is that it allows other nasty things to be downloaded and installed. Some of the newer bugs out there will actually protect themselves from being picked up by AV and AM programs. They shut down and hide, or they will actually shut off the programs. I have seen some that dump so much crap in the registry and hidden folders containing the exe file that the only way to get it all was a complete wipe and reinstall.
RLMoeller:
Many times these are all buried in your profile. Rebooting to clear that our of memory and logging in with a different account brings you up clean. Then you can run the malware cleaner. But you need to have had other accounts on the machine. And the account you have been using doesn't have admin rights, right?
Malware sucks. can be a big pain to clean. I've done a few and shake my head at the crafty things some of them do. Like hijack your browser settings and point to itself as a proxy server and other fun stuff like that.
SemperFiGuy:
Well, thus far, nothing that has been suggested has worked to cure the computer shakes.
So--fortunately--I have access to the excellent computer tekkies at the university. These guys are Solid Gold at shaking the junk out of computers.
This one will be in their capable hands by this time tomorrow.
Thanks to all the Fine Fellow Forum members who chipped in w/wisdom and advice.
Aren't we glad our firearms don't get malware, viruses, and other such junk!
