Title: Malware causing random links and popups
Post by: gemic on September 24, 2013, 02:16:01 AM: I have run scans and googled explanations until I have a headache. I primarily use Chrome browser and I randomly get underlined words that cause popups.
I have started running the scans you've requested for info. Here is the one from Adwcleaner.

AdwCleaner attached.

It only gave me one file.

Post by: gemic on September 24, 2013, 03:41:28 PM: That will be a big help thanks! I have to run to work though, so I'll attach after.

Post by: DavidR on September 24, 2013, 03:47:15 PM: No problem, when you have attached the various logs, we can try to get a malware removal specialist to look them over.
