Can't detect or get rid of...

I have linked photos of possible spyware ads that I receive randomly. When viewing webpages on sites with completely different themes (meaning the spyware isn't just related to certain categories like shopping, porn, etc.), this advertisement pops up about 2-5 seconds after the page loads, blocking the actual webpage. There is a link at the top-right to "skip this advertisement" but it's just really annoying to have it constantly come up. I have scanned with latest version and updates of Spybot as well as Ad-Aware and neither have detected anything. Any ideas of what this is or how to get rid of it?

Here are the screen shots:

As you can see from the pictures, the spyware or whatever it is works in both IE and Firefox.

Delete found viruses before posting again?

Tashi, I followed your instructions for BEFORE you POST. I scanned with Kaspersky Online Scanner and it found a few viruses and infected objects. Do you want me to delete those before I post the results of the scan on my new thread along with the HJT log or should I just let them go for now?

Click to expand...

The on-line scanner shouldn't clean, if you have a version that does, please don't delete anything.

The results of the scan allow our helpers to make an analysis, so just go ahead and start your topic.

Cheers. :)
 
Can't edit other thread

Tashi, I made a new thread in the malware removal forum and tried to include the screenshots from this thread. However, the links don't work and when I copy and paste them into the address bar, the images shown are extremely small. :oops: Is there any way that you can edit this for me as I have already replied once to that post to include my HijackThis log since it was too long. No one has replied yet to help so I don't want to start with more than 2 posts total in my topic before a helper responds. If you could edit that somehow to fix the hyperlinks that would be great. Here's the link to the new thread:

Hi there,

I made the links work but no worries, screenshots are not important it's the logs that count. :)

Cheers.

Hello,

Please make sure that you are running the latest version of Spybot - Search & Destroy including the latest updates.

To see which version number and/or updates of Spybot - Search & Destroy you are using please run Spybot-S&D and choose "Help" --> "About" in the menu bar.
There you can see which version you have and which updates are installed.
It should be version 1.5.2 and the updates from the 2008/04/09.

Best regards
Sandra
