Java Fake Pop Redirect Issue

[Jason12676]

I keep getting the below pop up (PIC attached) only when I use Chrome which is my preferred browser.

It rediredcts me to this site - http://m3.zrjmgu.com/546421987cb0d?geo=US&aid=208&lp_domain=zdptua.com&clickid=1415848344

To remedy I have tried the below fixed running as admin in both reg windows 7 as well as safe mode with and w/o networking.

• tdsskiller
• CCleaner
• Spybot - Search & Destroy
• Malwarebytes Anti-Malware
• FRST64
• adwcleaner_4.101

I have also restored my router to factory settings and that didn't work.

I can use IE without the pop issue - but I don't want to have to uninstall chrome as I have a lot of bookmarks etc I'd like to save.

Any ideas?

=====================================

Fix with Farbar Recovery Scan Tool

This fix was created for this user for use on that particular machine.

Running it on another one may cause damage and render the system unstable.

​

Download attached fixlist.txt file and save it to the Desktop:

Both files, FRST and fixlist.txt have to be in the same location or the fix will not work!

• Right-click on
  
  icon and select
  
  Run as Administrator to start the tool.
  (XP users click run after receipt of Windows Security Warning - Open File).
• Press the Fix button just once and wait.
• If for some reason the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally. After that let the tool complete its run.
• When finished FRST will generate a log on the Desktop, called Fixlog.txt.

Please attach it to your reply.

FYI - I fixed the issue here is what to do and not lose your bookmarks etc if you are having this issue in only chrome.

1. Navigate to Folder User>AppData>Local>Goggle>Chrome - Copy the User Data folder to My documents.
2. Uninstall chrome and then reinstall it.
3. Close Chrome when the new install opens.
4. Navigate back to folder User>AppData>Local>Google>Chrome - Delete the User Data folder
5. Locate your prior User Data folder you save in Mydocuments. Or wherever you choose to save it to.
6. Drag the old User Data folder into User>AppData>Local>Google>Chrome folder.

This has seemed to resolve my issue - thanks for your help!!!
