Hello, first time poster here, I keep getting the same malware (I think this is what it's called.....I'm such a newbie!) on my computer. Some of the stuff I've seen just pop up in my browser. I get these little green circles with a line through it, prompting me to click on it (I don't, I just hover and it tells me it's from SmartShopping.com). I get barowwsoe2Save, BestSaveForYou and CasaleMedia (I copied them down exactly as I saw them). I then ran Spybot and it detected the barowwsoe2Save and got rid of it. Then I went to my browser options and removed the BestSaveForYou extension. All seems well!
Except the problem is, every week it all comes back again. I've kept the kids off the internet for a week to see if perhaps they are the ones that keep installing this stuff, but no. Every Tuesday I see the same things come up. Then I remove them all, all is well for a week, and then the cycle continues. What am I doing wrong? Is it possible that these things are set up to repeat every week? Or is that just crazy? It's just too much of a coincidence.
Would it help to just uninstall Firefox and reinstall it? Would that make all of this go away? I've been using Spybot for years and never once needed to even go on the forums (thankfully :o)), so I'm not sure where to start really. Should I contact Firefox?
Thank you for reading,
Gigglepot
