Popups GRRR..?

I get random popups on firefox advertising some "Win-antivirus" which i know is fake.. how do i find the source, file or process that is instigating the popup?? i also get some on internet explorer...

and dont tell me to do an adaware scan, virus scan or spyware scan, cuz i did and it did nothing.....

Thank you for your help

Been there my friend. And I am pretty sure that you just got a TROJAN The actualy name of the trojan is:

TROJ_VUNDO.H

Trend Micro have removal details:

So, try this.

I use a hosts file from mvps.org, which seems pretty thorough. A download link is here - http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.zi...

Try downloading the free FireFox browser from here - www.mozilla.org. Open it, go to Tools, Options, Web Features and check Block Popup Windows. This should give you some peace while you fix the problem. I use FireFox as my default browser but IE is still required to access Windows updates.

Vundo seems to have been getting more common recently. I would suggest you download the free trial of TrojanHunter from here - http://www.castlecops.com/downloads-file... . Update it (Update button is at the top of the screen) but don't run it yet. Close the window, reboot into Safe Mode and run TrojanHunter. Hopefully this will find and clean the infection. If not then there is a manual fix detailed here - http://www3.ca.com/securityadvisor/pest/...
