I'm not sure what it is since I hardly ever use that computer. I think that that suspicious service may be related to HP.

If you go in device settings you should be able to find your wifi network adapter. Find out what it's called and download and install its latest driver from the manufacturer website. Edit: I just noticed you couldn't find it in device settings... sigh

I ran ComboFix and it seemed to have done the job. I was later able to install and run malwarebytes and it detected about 50 threats which were later moved into quarantine. I also ran a scan with hijackthis and seeing the logs it looks pretty safe. Should I do a registry clean and if so what...

One night my parents called me and asked if I could format a usb flash drive as they weren't capable of doing so themselves. While they knew how to format it, every time they did, a random executable app appeared on the drive. The computer was apparently infested and I was told that the symptoms...

I would like to share some of my experiences with today's generation of internet technology. Not so bad is it? Well, it can always get worse. I'm using one of those 3G USB sticks as my primary source of internet connection. It is connected to a 3G enabled router so other devices are able to...

Looks like the adware has been removed. Hijackthis is an awesome tool. Thanks for the help.

It's not inside the folder. Well, it may be hidden but I've already checked view hidden files within the folder options.

lollipop.exe is the f***er isn't it?

I have Avast installed and I'm not sure if MBAM is updated. However here's the log. Logfile of Trend Micro HijackThis v2.0.5 Scan saved at 16:50:32, on 17/07/2014 Platform: Windows 7 SP1 (WinNT 6.00.3505) MSIE: Internet Explorer v8.00 (8.00.7601.17514) Boot mode: Normal Running processes...

I am getting frequent popup ads in Chrome and MFF probably every five minutes or so. I have tried uninstalling both browsers but the ads still appear after the installation. There are no extensions and I don't see any software installed that may be causing it. Malwarebytes doesn't detect...

Maybe the tablet doesn't have a correct DNS address or doesn't have one at all so you may need to add one manually through the device's settings. It's weird but it should acquire one automatically. Anyways you can use the following Google DNS addresses: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. There's only one...

Sure. When you renew your public IP it effects the router and all the devices connected to it. Seeing that your mother's phone disconnects as well, try leaving the PC off for a while and check if the phone disconnects again. Check if the IP changes too. Also, if you're using a phone/adsl...

It could also be the client side sending new DHCP requests. Did you check if your computer contains any viruses, malware or anything suspicious?

Almost all the websites I visit are plagued with these ilivid ad banners. Why is this terrible, malicious and useless software being advertised everywhere? What's supporting it and how are the ads being financed? Why does it still exist on the internet?

You can try checking if the FF DNS cache is enabled. The browser may be requesting a server's IP everytime you try to load a page. If the browser doesn't save these addresses things can get a lot slower. Another way to check this is by inserting the direct IP address of any site in the url bar...
