Tom Speirs Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 It might be doing it through a firefox plugin. So look at your plugins and turn them off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll need to do a few things to get rid of this one. Hit me up tomorrow for some remote support if you want help removing. Uninstalling and reinstalling will not help.

Adultery Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 What I would do is download MBAM and run a quick scan. You can get it here. I have yet to meet a virus and/or hijacker that this didn't remove for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now i know its highly improbable that MS Office enterprise was the culprit but that the only think i altered.Marked as RESOLVED. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
