[QUOTE="jslim, post: 546996, member: 55621"] Hi again, I had a look at the problem, and here are my observations (and recollections of the events): - I did another scan with MBAM, this time round with root-kit detection enabled, but no results were returned - I saw another post by Dylan324 earlier regarding visiting a site powered by vBulletin, and it reminded me that the problem only surfaced up around 5 hours earlier when I visited a forum powered by vBulletin too (speak of deja vu!) - I've tried adding the ABP extension to my chrome browser, it did help with the issue, especially when I opened up the forum page again - Prior to enabling ABP, I've observed that other sites (apart from the said forum running vBulletin) did not have the pop-up issue - No issues were detected on my DNS settings on IPV4 and IPV6, and they're still on automatic rather than a manual DNS server - I've tried setting the DNS server to 8.8.8.8, but it did not help with the issue - I've run the FRST as the administrator now, and attached are the reports Those are the observations and recollections I have so far. A concern I have right now is regarding password security, and I have made use of banking websites, and only discovered the issue only after I saw the pop-ups. Is there any immediate concern for password security now? Thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
