since you guys helped me about a year ago, my computer has been sweet but recently, this POS has started popping up
ad.yieldmanager.com
it comes up as part of a SD warning that ya just decline and carry on but it is farkin annoying
Is it a virus that is trying to get in or is in already in and trying to find a link out?
any help is greatly appreciated
Cheers
Dave.
Hi
Download and install TrendMicro HijackThis (http://www.trendsecure.com/portal/en-US/_download/HJTInstall.exe)
* Once installed open HijackThis by clicking Start > Programs > HijackThis and click the button labeled
Do a system scan only
* Click the scan button in the lower left hand corner of the interface and HijackThis will quickly scan your system.
* Once the scan is complete the scan button will now read save log. Click this button to save the log file to your PC. Once you select where you would like to save the file it will open in your systems default text editor. Typically this application is Notepad. Post the log here.

Hi
It only pops up when I am checking or opening emails on Yahoo.com
Ok. That explains it. Please read Yahoo! Privacy Policy (http://info.yahoo.com/privacy/us/yahoo/details.html).
I recommend downloading modified Windows Hosts file, like MVPS Hosts file here (http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm). Make sure you read the instructions on how to install the hosts file.

Will see how it goes and re post here

Hi
Let's try with Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware. I recommend uninstalling AVG Anti-Spyware before that.
Please download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware (http://www.besttechie.net/tools/mbam-setup.exe) to your desktop.
Double-click mbam-setup.exe and follow the prompts to install the program.
At the end, be sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, then click Finish.
If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
Once the program has loaded, select Perform full scan, then click Scan.
When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
Be sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
When completed, a log will open in Notepad. Please save it to a convenient location. The log can also be found here: C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Application Data\Malwarebytes\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\Logs\log-date.txt
Please post contents of that file in your next reply.

Interesting, use Firefox, opened yahoo and then inbox, no popup
closed and reloaded with IE, opened inbox and 2 popups as usual.
retry Firefox, again, no popups when I accessed yahoo inbox.
Hi
Please check immunization settings in Spybot. Set "block all bad pages silently" active.
