Blank IE Pages Keep Popping Up

Status
Not open for further replies.
Nope. Still comes up.

I have a yellow triangle on the systray that comes up with fake bubbles saying I should click on it to download an "official security software".
Also AVG comes up once in a while warning me about a Malware infection and they seem to be the same ones coming back once in a while.

:freak:

Respond faster. This is aggrivating. Seriously need to get some work done and I can't if they keep bugging me.
 
download, install and run Rogue Remover

|MG| RogueRemover Free 1.22

then follow below

Download smitRem.exe and save the file to your desktop.
Double click on the file to extract it to it's own folder on the desktop.


Please reboot your computer in SafeMode by doing the following:
  1. Restart your computer After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, press F8. Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear
  2. Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode.
Open the smitRem folder, then double click the RunThis.bat file to start the tool. Follow the prompts on screen.
Wait for the tool to complete and disk cleanup to finish.

The tool will create a log named smitfiles.txt in the root of your drive, eg; Local Disk C: or partition where your operating system is installed. Please post that log along with a new Hijack log in your next reply.
 
I still get pop-ups. Right now I have 13 open. Woohoo. Probably going to be more in a few minutes.

The only thing I was able to find when I went to explorer was mshta.exe. Also, the O3 - Toolbar: Security Toolbar - {11A69AE4-FBED-4832-A2BF-45AF82825583} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\zypqhnsx.dll didn't remove for some reason. (From the Hijackthis log.)

My taskbar dissappears and reappears once in a while for some reason too. Forgot to tell you that from the beginning. Nothing new, been happening since the pop-ups.

  • On reboot, it will briefly open a black command window on your desktop, this is normal.
  • After the restart, it creates a log file that should open with the results of Avenger's actions. This log file will be located at C:\avenger.txt
