Do any other computers that use your router experience this ?

Could you disable sad panda

[REDACTED]

Sad Panda removed and also no not to my knowledge.

I live in an apartment with about 11 other apartments in this building,with up to 4 people using the same router at any time.

I believe there are about 3 routers, 1 for each floor

[Eddy]

What are the dns settings in the router ?

[REDACTED]

No idea, is there anyway to check?

[Eddy]

Open the routers settings page and look them up.

[REDACTED]

I don't have access to the router, its managed by the apartment building manager

OK set your computer to use opendns  https://support.opendns.com/forums/21618384  select the OS that  you have and follow the instructions

Then let me know if that stops it

[REDACTED]

Ok, followed the instructions,

will keep you posted on results,

though one thing i noticed which seemed a bit odd is the amount of Ethernet connections i have :S

this isn't normal is it

[essexboy]

If you do not use the Ethernet connections then you can delete all bar one

[REDACTED]

Still happening guys

[essexboy]

Could you fully uninstall Chrome and then see if the alerts cease

[REDACTED]

Ok uninstalled, using Microsoft Edge now, will keep you updated,

Also just has a multitude of alerts come from "Skype tool bars" even though I thought I uninstalled it

Happened about 20 minutes after I tried using my credit card too. Coincidence?

[essexboy]

No, it is something deeply embedded, at this stage I would seriously consider re-installing windows

[REDACTED]

Ok I'll follow your advice and do a fresh install, so far no alerts from using Microsoft Edge,

Any idea what the malware was doing? I haven't had anything unusual happen on my computer yet, besides the alerts.
