It seems stable at the moment.  I haven't had any detections since logging in (almost exactly at the time I first replied (maybe 20 mins. to follow your instructions - I didn't do any browsing).

Just got a detection

I just began to look at the sites that this pops up on.  I've had it happen on ebay and other innocuous sites.  The most recent was: 

http://propstore.auctionserver.net/view-auctions/catalog/id/10/lot/1315/

 &

http://slickdeals.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=9

Here's a pic of one of the pop-ups (will included more as they appear, but this is the most common)




I didn't get to capture another detection, but it was this:

I'm being prompted to do windows updates, but they are only optional i.e. updates for Microsoft Office.  Should I just ignore for now?

Also, I found some old file folders for Spybot S&D.  Should I delete those?

Getting multiple detections from shavethis.com/favicon.ico (as pictured above)

I was browsing ebay and this thread when the most recent detection popped up.

Correct.  I use MSN Explorer 11.00.0028.1500

Also, I use Internet Explorer 10

BTW - I get detections that hit msn.exe and iexplorer.exe.  It doesn't seem to matter what browser I'm utilizing at the time.

Thank you!

Hello,

Per request, attached is the adwcleaner log.

Ty.

P.S. Still having the same favicon detection from general browsing (this site included) after the scan.

Please provide myself a fresh FRST scan log. Do you take part in online monetizing sites?

Yes, I have taken part in mypoints and inboxdollars for many years.  Those were the toolbars represented in my program list.  However, I haven't downloaded anything new from either of them in a few years.  And, the toolbars existed on my system well before the infection (if this is, indeed, an infection).

Here's the new FRST log.  I only did the scan and didn't "fix".

Ty!

Please re-install your MSN browser and check if you are still getting the warnings.
