[QUOTE="craigwf, post: 323132, member: 31870"] Looking through her Programs and Features, I saw a listing for Media Player Z. When I googled it, every entry I found was in Polish and referred to a media player that throws up all kinds of ads, pop-ups, etc. Though it would not allow me to uninstall it from Programs and Features, I stopped the service in Task Manager and then deleted the folder in Program Files (x86). I could find no reference to it in User/App Data. I then reset both browsers (IE and Firefox) to factory settings as shown in [url]http://malwaretips.com/blogs/ads-by-media-player-removal/[/url]. After running the Zoek scan (attached), I then did a registry cleaning and my subsequent browsing in both browsers failed to show any redirects or pop-up ads. [/QUOTE]
