So I have this problem with the window popping window saying Malicious URL Blocked. It’s never happened before-it started yesterday and happens every time I’m on facebook.
Let me know if this stops it

[*]Open OTL again and click the Quick Scan button. Post the log it produces in your next reply.
This time when I logged on facebook nothing poped up. But I don’t know if it’s permanently stopped or just temporary.
If all is well tomorrow let me know and I will tidy up
Sorry for late reply I just wanted to be completely sure. The pop up is officially gone. Thank you
Better to be sure ;D
Subject to no further problems
I will remove my tools now and give some recommendations, but, I would like you to run for 24 hours or so and come back if you have any problems

[*]Select the View Tab.
[*]Under the Hidden files and folders heading select Do not show hidden files and folders.
