less porn?

Clean install, antivirus that doesn't fail(I use Avast), delete all cookies(and temp items) and fix your browser settings, less porn(again).

I would personally try avast first, if it doesn't help, do a clean install.

Thanks kyle and nah Josh i have lots of dvd's of porn.

lol Josh less porn, watch out on what sites you go to bra

What kind of pop ups you get?

casue i had a virus on my laptop called soft-antivirus or something, and it killed my laptop

from soft-core porn

My check list for viruses (most of it is common sense, which a lot of ppl lack):

-Install antivirus software and update it.

-Scan and scan some more.

-If it catches anything and cannot remove it, Google the name to find a specific fix. Do this even if it seems to have "deleted" the virus.

-If it does not catch anything, install alternate software and repeat until you find something.

-Back up your files in case things get nasty.

-Use your antivirus to try and fix the problems, while also applying the specific fix. You can even boot into safemode if you need to.

-Update your computer / defragment / use CCleaner and HijackThis

-Add firewalls, spyware tools, secure your PC (close ports and backdoors).

-Get a safe browsing tool such as WOT, or anything similar.

-Quit downloading porn!

yeah the anti virus/ adaware stuff that doesn't do anything and wants you to buy it isn't good, lmao. I know for old xp there was a good program to take stuff like that off and like a above you need to stop lookin at gay porn.

Ad-aware is that SHIT!!! It handles gay porn like nobody's business!! haha!

Actually the Ad-Aware fixed it.. Whatever it was it was smart it acted just like an anti virus popping up and said ur shits infected after i clicked exit another window popped up and looked as it was scanning my hard drive but it wasnt.. The thing i dont get is how it would redirect me to a diff site every time i clicked a link that had ad-aware in it. The link Kyle gave me worked and it got rid of it so thanks again.. and thanks for all the suggestions.

try disconnecting from the internet and try again. couldn't hurt. and no more pr0nz for you sir.

I had this same exact sort of thing a few weeks ago.

I first ran Malwarebytes, then after restarting, used ComboFix.

ComboFix is fucking amazing, it's all a command line program too, so just run it and follow the instructions it gives.

It took a while but my computer was completely fixed. I thought I'd have to reinstall, I couldn't even open programs before I ran ComboFix!

I've seen this before. Just follow my advice. Get a program like AVG to scan and find the virus name. I can bet it's virtumondo or something similar... You will have to follow specific instructions to get rid of a virus like that. That's why you try and find out an alias for it.

If I remember correctly virtumondo wrote itself in explorer.exe, so any attempt to remove it wouldn't matter because it was already in memory. What I did was I got the removal tool for it, booted into safe mode, started up the tool (and anything else you might need), killed explorer.exe (which kills your taskbar / desktop) to delete the virus when it wasn't running. I'm not saying you have this particular virus but it looks VERY similar. Probably an updated version of it.

Good luck.
