Since I ran combo fix I've not gotten a pop up. But then again these things come and go. I've been in my e-mail several times and nothing yet. So I'll check it out again tomorrow morning and see what happens. It's just strange that it comes and goes. Nothing consistent, which is why it's so darned frustrating and probably hard to find. I'll check in again tomorrow and let you know how it goes.

If you look at your Combofix log nothing was removed
Lets reset all your browsers back to company defaults
- Open IE
- Go to Tools> Internet Options > Advanced Tab
- Reset Internet Explorer Setting
- Reset
- This will take a few seconds
- Close IE and then reopen it and see if it helped
- Open Firefox
- Click on Help > Troubleshooting Information > Reset Firefox to its default state
- Click the Chrome menu on the browser toolbar.
- Select Settings.
- Scroll down to Show advanced settings...
- Down on the bottom you will see an option for RESET BROWSER SETTINGS
- Click on it and it will set Chome back to defaults

I've reset IE and at first I thought maybe that worked. But now I'm getting edbr2.com pop ups constantly everytime I go into my AOL e-mail where as before it was sporadic. I'm going to see if I can find a way to reload AOL 9.6 but it might take me a while. I'm thinking maybe the software got dinged by something. So give me a day or so. At this point I'm so frustrated I'm about ready to take it back to factory specs if it didn't mean losing a whole lot of favorite places in IE. Thanks for being patient with me. If you have any other ideas I'd be happy to hear them.

I think your problems have to do with AOL and I think as long as you use it your going to have these issues
-
Well at least that version of AOL. I upgrade to IE11 and removed the aol software v. 9.6 and anything related to it. Then downloaded new v. 9.7 and so far so good. It's just odd that it was only the e-mail portion that affected. I'm going to go run Adware and Malwarebytes just to make sure I don't have anything lingering but I'm hoping we are done with this. Thanks for all your help and advice. Should we clean up?
-
No, go ahead and run AdwCleaner, Junkware Removal and Malwarebytes and lets see if your clean
-
Ok AdwCleaner found the viewpoint software so I cleaned that. Malwarebytes was clean.
