Stubborn Malware
« on: April 14, 2014, 08:12:43 PM »
I'm using the free version.

Recently I've started getting constant malware popup warnings and redirects using my browswer, which is Internet Explorer. I ran an Avast boot scan, it identified a couple of problems which I had it move to the Chest. I then rebooted, but the malware popups continued.

One thing I find curious is that the redirects at first were taking me to Avast sites, and then to other security related sites.

This is driving me crazy. The Object sites identified include words or phrases like "clickdata" and "redirect" and "php" Any ideas how solve this?
