[QUOTE="AshleySue, post: 292127, member: 30124"] Last week, I messed up and tried downloading something via BitTorrent, which I also had freshly downloaded. Big mistake, and frankly, I'm kicking myself for having known better. Immediatly, I knew I had inadvertantly given myself the gift of malware. Within a day, occasional targeted popups would come in the next browser tab. If I visited my bank website, another tab would come up saying Wells Fargo wanted me to click to receive my credit score. If I visited Discover Card, a tab would pop up saying Discover Card needed to give me my credit score. If I went to Adobe.com, a pop up tab would claim to be adobe, needing me to take a survey. Now that I'm trying to straighten this out, I keep getting pop ups tabs looking helpful, saying they are pchelpdesk.co or such giving me "malware tips and removal service", but I know better. In about a 24 hour period, it became rampant. It's killing my browsers (Chrome and Firefox), and now I don't even have to visit a new website for them to come. Just being on this page, about every five minutes a new one pops up. Further, I've run a ton of anti-virus services, all of which keep saying it's clean. :( Except malwarebytes did notice that a pup kept trying to run. I've realized my browsers are being demolished by cdncache-a. somethinganother. It keeps taking every page. But I don't know what it is or how to stop it. I can't find it in the system, which is driving me nutso. :( Then - I found here. And threads that have my problem (after googling cdncache-a.). And hope that this can be eliminated by your awesomeness and knowledge. Please say you can help, or let me know if my only hope is to reformat. I know this is clearly a dangerous malware going after financial information, and I already fear they may have my bank login info. [/QUOTE]
