And, why don't you like FF? I thought it was one of the safest browsers for malware, popups and other sh*t?
If you compare it to IE6 then I would agree...  But look through the forum and note the mal url threads that are not associated with TDSS or zero access and you will find that the majority are rogue firefox addons.  Plus it does not work straight out of the box, to make it functional you need to install other small programmes which may not be what they seem  ;D   I did try Firefox a few years ago but it was that fact which dissuaded me from using it (this also applies to Chrome) Others may well disagree but that is their right, I like going against the flow as well  ;D

Any further popups/alerts ?

Hmm, I set a big value on the opinion of an expert/computer-great-mind... so maybe I should switch back to IE... big step after all this years... :)

And nope, no further pop-ups or alerts! You did it (again)!
I thank you very, very much!

Windows 7 will take IE10 which is even more secure than IE9

However, the choice is yours I would never try to sway you one way or the other.. This is just my personal view  ;D

Subject to no further problems   :)

I will remove my tools now and give some recommendations, but, I would like you to run for 24 hours or so and come back if you have any problems 

Now the best part of the day ----- Your log now appears clean  :thumbsup:

A good workman always cleans up after himself so..The following will implement some cleanup procedures as well as reset  System Restore points:

Run AdwCleaner and press uninstall

Run OTL and hit the cleanup button.  It will remove all the programmes we have used plus itself. 

We will now confirm that your hidden files are set to that, as some of the tools I use will change that
  • Click Start.
  • Open My Computer.
  • Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options.
