Hi there,
Hoping someone can help me - every time I connect to the web, I get around 4 messages, from websites like http://alwaysisobar.com/
I haven't even gone to a browser yet - although from research it did say chrome may be the issue so I removed it - still have issues.

I have done a malware test and removed what ever came up - still have issues.

There don't appear to be any other issues with the computer  - Is this a virus - and why doesn't Avast do something about it - from his forum it looks like heaps of people are having the issue.

I have followed the instructions at the "Logs to assist" topic, and attached the files indicated.

thanks
roima

Open notepad and copy/paste the text in the quotebox below into it:
