Virus??

**Pragmatic** · 16-02-2015, 01:05 PM

I keep getting a Porn website randomly appearing on my computer screen. I just don't know how to get rid of it. I have Avast and ABP but neither picks up this website. Anyone any ideas please? Thanks.

Run Adwcleaner

AdwCleaner Download

**Pragmatic** · 16-02-2015, 01:14 PM

I'm trying that right now thanks.

**boloa** · 16-02-2015, 01:56 PM

Also clean out all your web history and cookies from your browsers. Also run malwarebytes......but I guess your doing that also as a matter of course.

**Pragmatic** · 16-02-2015, 01:56 PM

Right I've run AdwCleaner. I'll now sit back to see if it's worked. Thanks. Yes I run Malwarebytes but that never picked it up. Cleared my history etc but still got the pop up. Just a matter of time now to see if it's worked.

Was it a really nasty porn site?

With all manner of depraved things?

Can you do a screen shot?

Not nasty porn. What do you class as 'depraved? Can't show porn on this forum section, sorry.

^I'm not so sure...Heh...

**withnallstoke** · 16-02-2015, 05:07 PM

I do now.

**charleyboy** · 16-02-2015, 05:13 PM

Pragmatic...I had the same shite, also a few friends around here have it.

I thought I'd got rid of it, the fooker popped up again yesterday!

Tried all the above...To no avail.

Troubleshooting.
If these decent application cleaners don't respond, it might be associated with a program you installed. Look thoroughly threw your program listings for the suspected nasty.

Yep it's the same for me. I've tried the suggestions and I'm still getting the fcuking thing. By the way the web site is 'adultyum.info' if anyone cares to check it out.

Sounds like Pragmatic and charleyboy have tried all the normal procedures and it looks like thaimeme and Necron99 could be nearer to solving the promlem.

Remove add-ons and extensions

The pop up virus may download and install unexpected malicious toolbar or extension on your browser, make sure removing them all.

In Google Chrome click the wrench icon, navigate to Tools > Extensions and remove any malicious extension from the list.

In Mozilla Firefox navigate to Tools > Add-ons > Extensions and remove all malicious extensions.

In Microsoft Internet Explorer navigate to Tools > Manage add-ons and remove all malicious add-ons.

Delete additional unwanted Search Engine settings

The search engines always come together with toolbar or extension; please make sure removing or disabling the malicious search engines before you repair the home page.

In Google Chrome, click the wrench icon and navigate to Settings > Manage search engines… click the X next to any suspicious search engines.

In Mozilla Firefox, click the small search magnify glass near the search box (not url/search field) and click “Manage Search Engines…”.
Remove any suspicious search engines from the list by highlighting the selection and clicking remove.

In Microsoft Internet Explorer, please navigate to Tools > Manage Add Ons and remove the malicious search engine from the list.

Repair Homepage (start up page) settings

In Google Chrome click the wrench icon and navigate to Settings. Click “Set pages” under the On startup option. Remove any malicious websites and replace with your preferred URL.

In Mozilla Firefox navigate to Tools > Options. Under the General tab remove any malicious URL from the “Home Page:” field and replace with your preferred home page.

In Microsoft Internet Explorer navigate to Tools >Internet Options. Remove any malicious URLs from the Home Page field and replace with your preferred URL

Check program in the Control panel

When malicious code runs on your computer, it may download and install malicious program or toolbar on your computer to further better spread advertisement. If you find any suspicious program or toolbar in the control panel, please uninstall them all.

Removing program:

Please go to the Start Menu. Select Control Panel → Add/Remove Programs.
If you are using Windows Vista or Windows 7, select Control Panel → Uninstall a Program.

Search for any suspicious program or toolbar in the list. Select the program and click Remove button. If you are using Windows Vista/7, click Uninstall up near the top of that window.

Important Note: If you are uncertain about a program, please search and check the detail information before uninstalling.

BTW..I always use Revo Uninstaller to uninstall unwanted program's

I found one that I didn't install. On deleting it it sent my screen crazy flashing off and on. Things seem normal now and just a case of waiting.

**Pragmatic** · 16-02-2015, 08:08 PM

Nah still getting the pop up.

**blue** · 16-02-2015, 09:15 PM

remember how long you have been getting it ?
maybe try going back and restoring the computer to point before it got infected
eg on win 7
