Why isn’t avast doing anything about this!! I can’t open a website without getting these daggon popup alerts. So many people are dealing with this.
I’ll run all the scans and post back on this thread tomorrow. This is really frustrating. Everything was fine yesterday and now this!!

And why do you blame avast for it
The answer is obvious isn’t it? Clearly this is a conspiracy to infect our computers and force us to visit your website and use your stuff
Sorry, didn’t mean to have it come across like I’m blaming Avast. I’ve been very pleased with Avast for many years. Guess I’m just frustrated.
Still running scans.
Attached is the log from adwcleaner.
Next post will be log from Malwarebytes.

Gonna run OTL scan now and will post results.
Tried running OTL but when it came to Firefox settings it stopped. Don’t know where to go from here.
Ran OTL again but it hangs and stops when it checks Firefox settings.
Make sure you close all of your windows before you run OTL.
I don’t know what happened but I’m no longer getting those annoying pop up blocker messages from avast. Keeping my fingers crossed. Let me know if you guys want me to check anything else. I’m exhausted.
The popups stopped for me too. Strange…
The malware removers are still in bed so you have to check back later today
and what stuff is that?
Just being facetious. Please don’t ignore my forum post.
Yep, closed all windows before running it. But weird, no longer getting those annoying popups.
If you have followed the instructions in the sticky post, started your own topic and attached ligs…help will arrive later today
message is to siightseek
All windows were closed when I ran OTL.
