[QUOTE="Jack, post: 24599, member: 1"] You didn't copy/paste the entire log.......... Did you install Hotspot Shield (From AnchorFree)?If yes it would be a good idea to remove it because this program is known to come bundled with adware - see [url=http://www.threatexpert.com/report.aspx?md5=3e83560650bb268719ec23a45f3e7c96]here[/url] and [url=http://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/anchorfree.com]here[/url] - This file is detected by Symantec as "Trojan.Adclicker" and by ESET's Nod32 antivirus as a variant of Win32/HotSpotShield. Also make sure Java is up-to-date : http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp and clean your temp files/registry keys with Ccleaner. I'll take a deeper look at your log in a few hours and provide a OTL Fix (if need it) because I've just got back from work :P [/QUOTE]
