Spybot and MSE Find Nothing But I get Pop Ups

[bydavidrosen]

Before I continue... Just wanted to let you know, I clicked on your message, not on the link, just in the page, so I could start using my mouse's scroll wheel to scroll down, and right when I clicked in the text area, a tab popped open, but I closed it before it got a chance to load. This is the link:

http://www.stamplive.com/lr.php?zone...876b%26s2%3Dpc

Don't know if that helps at all.

And wanted to add, I just searched for this stamplive, and see that it is a common malware problem, but I don't know what site to go to that isn't itself malware, to find a solution, so I figure I'll wait for your response haha :-)

Thanks

WOW... Two things...

1) https://chrome.google.com/webstore/d...er-info-dialog I just got this random feeling... I'm sure LOTS of people have Lastpass, have Any.Do, have Pocket, have Pushbullet, have Pinterest, etc, but probably not a lot of people have Chrome Notepad which is an extension I've had forever, but I certainly don't know anyone else with it... It's got a great overall rating, but check out the reviews. All the recent ones say it installs malware in recent updates! So I think I know what the culprit was maybe. I just removed it from Chrome.

2) I went to where you can manage your cookies and removed the cookies for that stamplive.com ... I hope that's OK. Probably should have waited on your suggestion for that one.

Stamplive is the culprit, does this happen with all three browsers or just chome ??

• Click on Tools up on the top right
• Click on Manage Add Ons from the dropdown list
• In this window you can manage the Internet Explorer add-ons

IE:

The only thing I find is under Toolbars and Extensions are Smart.Recovery 2 and GBHO.BHO. I hit disable on them.

Chrome:

Stamplive was NOT in there (maybe because I already deleted cookies?). I'm surprised at the huge list of "other search engines" though... I could go through and delete them all... I just deleted a bunch of suspicious looking ones that aren't sites I regularly go to.

And I don't have Firefox.

OK, lets just hang on a day or so and see if it comes back

Great, thank you again. I'll be in touch if I see some more pop-ups.
