Since a week or so I am experiencing the following:
Browserwindows opening unexpectedly
- These windows often lead to Yahoo or other commercial sites
- Just before the new page loads it shows this IP address consitenly: 69.31.52.238
- The opening of unwanted pages happens at interval, not always
- It is limited to one new window, not a tab
I have used the following programs to detect the virus/malware:
- Kapsersky Antivirus 2010, reports clean
- Spybot - S&D, reports clean
- Windows Defender, reports clean
I downloaded MBAM, installed and started as instructed but I get the following error while updating:
MBAM_ERROR_UPDATING (12007, 0, WinHttpSendRequest)
To prevent this blocking I first used the MBAM exclusions in Kaspersky as instructed by MBAM, no result.
Also tried to update MBAM with Kaspersky and Windows firewall turned off, no result
A manual update from MBAM's website seems to be disabled.
Using:
Dell XPS M1730
Windows Vista Ulitmate 32 SP2
I really could use some assistance.
Thanks in advance!
