Hi All!

I was wondering about a seemingly new problem with my normal browser....

Every time I try to log into a site, this stupid pop-up from "Banners Don't Work" pops up with a new offer I don't want. Is there a way (or more than one way) to skin this cat?

Hello gurpsgm,

Any new Firefox extensions installed when the issue started?

Best regards.

As far as I know, no. I've also disabled or eliminated all extensions I'm not sure I needed. I temporarily switched to IE10 because the problem does not occur there.

Hello gurpsgm,

I looked at similar questions posed by users at Mozilla and Microsoft Answers.
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/956715?page=2

Someone can take a look at the system if you start a topic in the Malware Removal Forum (http://forums.spybot.info/forumdisplay.php?f=22) where a volunteer analyst will advise when available. :)

If you decide to ask for advice there first see that forum's FAQ which also includes instructions in post #2 on how to provide DDS and aswMBR logs, which are used in the preliminary analysis.
