I'm at my brother's house using his computer and realize it has that antivirus 2009 trojan. Mostly because I had the same thing at my house a few months ago. One thing different is that while I browse Firefox random blank windows keep popping up. The URL is like: link removed, etc, etc, or link removed, etc, etc. I went through all the virus removal steps and after running Malwarebytes in both normal and safe mode (same with Spybot and Ad-aware) all the infected and quarantined files were removed from the computer. Except there are still the pop-up windows, although they occur less frequently than they did before. I'm not sure how to go on with this, searching didn't yield much info so any help would be greatly appreciated.

After scan click Remove Selected, Post new scan log for review

Having grandkids is God's way of giving you a 2nd chance because you were too busy working your butt off the 1st time around
Do not send me PMs with problems that should be posted in the forums. Keep it in the forums, so everyone benefits
