Yeah a new problem.
Every one in a blue moon there is a pop up/ad on the bottomright of the screen, that is supposed to look like an MSN message. I hover my mouse over it and it says it's from adultfriendfinder. How the fuck do I remove this? Swore I scanned all my shit before opening them. Then again I ran mcafee and malwarebyte and they don't pick it up. If any of you know, how serious is this virus? It only malforms a webpage at least one time a day, maybe twice randomly. ____________________

Is it aligned to the taskbar or is it in a browser window?
EDIT: reason I ask is that I get it too, repeatedly, and always on the same couple of sites (shitty advertising setup, whee!) |

I think it started when I "installed" game maker.

I found "Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware" pretty reliable, despite it's fairly stupid name. ____________________ AIM: gamefreak1337, MSN: Emil_sim@spray.se, XMPP: ailure@xmpp.kafuka.org

Downloaded that and it didn't delete it.
However, after using spybot, I have not seen that stupid fake msn message popup with some fake hooker trying to contact me anymore, at least for today. ____________________

Well, I found the anti-malware tool fine for cleaning up remains of some malware that I incorrectly cleaned up.  ____________________ AIM: gamefreak1337, MSN: Emil_sim@spray.se, XMPP: ailure@xmpp.kafuka.org

Anti mal is good but it's just not catching it.
I hope it's not something serious but it's not doing anything that bad besides really really rare ads unnaturally on a page. It's still doing it too, so I guess it's not spyware. ____________________

If it's adware, try Spybot, it's a nice little program that catches stuff that Adaware does not.
If it's a virus, I would reccomend running Avast. I would say Avira, except for the fact that Avira has a pop up of it's OWN every time it updates your data files. ____________________ セシル |
