[QUOTE="joe831, post: 147756, member: 15823"] Hello, I got some kind of redirect virus a short while ago. After scanning with many AV programs I found this guide and gave it a try [url]http://malwaretips.com/blogs/remove-browser-redirect-virus/[/url] I followed ALL the steps and the virus appeared to be removed. I am running Firefox and Adblock. I've been having some problems clicking links and images lately so I tried disabling AdBlock to see if that fixed it. It didn't, and the virus has returned but not as bad as originally. The virus does a few things 1. Sometimes I will click a link and new ad tab will open [IMG]http://imageshack.us/a/img21/5664/2j21.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://imageshack.us/a/img62/7342/vykh.jpg[/IMG] 2. Random text words will become links to popup ads [IMG]http://imageshack.us/a/img189/4358/sqb4.jpg[/IMG] 3. Popups like this appear [IMG]http://imageshack.us/a/img89/5760/nan4.jpg[/IMG] AdBlock stops the virus totally, but I have some problems, not sure if they are because or the virus or not. For example, I can't click any pictures on ebay or zoom or enlarge [IMG]http://imageshack.us/a/img9/2374/wc79.jpg[/IMG] This problem occurs in Firefox and Chrome, but not in IE. Thanks for any help and tell me if I need to provide any additional info. I am running Windows 7, 64 bit. [/QUOTE]
