    Ok, back on the PC. After running the test with spy hunter, and finding only a bunch of bad cookies and nothing else, my system would not respond at all....i had to crash it and restart, luckily no damage. Spyhunter seems to be a good program, but i'm not sure what happened after it finished testing, other then it wanting $40 from me so it could fix the problems (delete cookies, i think i can do that manually.... )

    So no Adyieldmanager that it could find....

    Default advertising pop-ups

    I had this happening in my computer and looking at addons through firefox I found one that stops these adds popping up.

    I have not had it happen from any other site.

    Hi there

    That looks like some sort of spyware from ad.yieldmanager.com. You can find removal instructions here;

    How to Remove Ad.yieldmanager.com Pop up Ads?(Adware Removal Guide)- AnviSoft

    Or do a google search on the topic if the above link doesn't help.

    In regard to protecting your PC, make sure all OS and application software is up to date. A free anti virus package is Microsoft Security Essentials, it doesn't interfere with your computer as much as others can Microsoft Security Essentials - Microsoft Windows If you're not running anything its quite good (tho not perfect because it relies on file definitions being released rather than file behavour), otherwise I would suggest purchasing one of the big name AV packages.

    cheers

    Thanks Steven,
    I had already tried a few of those, all had not found a thing. I finally tried one that ran several different programs and i now seem to to free of it. Certainly not as easy as removing a sus program from the installed program list!
    I run full Trend security, spybot and malwarebytes, still i manged to catch this. Last thing i installed was well before it started, although i think there was a java update the day it started.....

    Cheers
