even if you have something else run a AVG free virus scan.

^^Those dont work, and neither does the firefox add-on/
Download Malwarebytes and run occasionally. The free version is very good for being free. But the paid version is even nicer.

Then go and download combofix, and run that.(instructions are there)
This fixes shit Malware and AVG cant.

If you still have stuff pop up plz post a hijack report here.\

Hope this helps, Death

I had this. Is there a process called Gadcom or something on your comp? I did a full system scan from AVG Free and it deleted all of the stuff. Also did a Ad-Aware sweep just incase.

reinstalling your system works as long as you dont have anything of value on your hd
