View Full Version : Clean system, but still getting popups?

Spybot and Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware are both up-to-date, and both agree my system is clean. (After a bout with Virtumonde.)

I still get Firefox popups. It's when I've opened a new window or am entering data in a form, I'll get a sudden freeze, then within a few seconds I have a new window open, which opens maximized, it restores to a smaller size, then maximizes again. Since the Virtumonde problem, it always goes to the same site.

Does this mean there's some obscure setting in Firefox that allows this ad to keep coming at me? Is there a way within Firefox to refuse any particular website? Or is that a firewall thing?

Thanks for any answers.

Nangleator, there may still be traces of Virtumonde left on your machine so I'd recommend that you consider posting in the Malware Removal forum and having someone take a look at your system.

Just follow these instructions (http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=288) then start a new thread in the Malware Removal (http://forums.spybot.info/forumdisplay.php?f=22) forum.
