the same pop up every 5 seconds!!
« on: March 13, 2014, 09:58:21 PM »
Please help!  I keep getting a popup that a harmful webpage or file was blocked and it's always the same one....

http://26714.t.c.adlinker.net/

It keeps coming up even after I run a scan.  Is there any way to remove this so that it stops happening?

Thanks in advance for any help!!

Hi you also have Norton installed and running, so if you are keeping Avast this will need to be removed

 Norton removal tool can be found here https://support.norton.com/sp/en/uk/home/current/solutions/kb20080710133834EN_EndUserProfile_en_us

Warning This fix is only relevant for this system and no other, using on another computer may cause problems

Be advised that when the fix commences it will shut down all running processes and you may lose the desktop and icons, they will return on reboot

Run OTL
  • Under the Custom Scans/Fixes box at the bottom, paste in the following


Code: [Select]
:Commands
[CREATERESTOREPOINT]
