Evey time I use either yahoo or google and type in the search engine box and hit enter I get the “malicious url blocked” pop up. Everything else works fine and it even does the search for me, but for some reason the pop up keeps appearing. I have not seen it appear any other time, only when I utilize a search engine.
Please help…
What is your default browser ?
Is this on all browsers or just one ?
I use Firefox, but it also happens on IE. It just started yesterday, it has never happened before.

Now relax and wait for Essexboy…should be here in about 2 hours
any changes to your problem after MBAM removed those files ?
No, pop up still occurs when utilizing the search engine. Thanks.
Here you go try this and check for alerts on completion
Warning This fix is only relevant for this system and no other, using on another computer may cause problems
Run OTL
[*]Under the Custom Scans/Fixes box at the bottom, paste in the following
:OTL O4 - HKCU..\Run: [CitrixUpdate] C:\Users\mrbond\AppData\Local\Citrix\CitrixUpdate\Citrixupdt32.exe (The Imaging Source Europe GmbH) [2011/09/11 14:34:51 | 000,111,104 | ---- | C] (The Imaging Source Europe GmbH) -- C:\ProgramData\AppleUpdateService.dll:Files

[emptytemp]
[EMPTYFLASH]
[CREATERESTOREPOINT]
[Reboot]
Attached is the latest OTL log…
Could you re-run the fix please as it did not appear to take, could you also ensure that run fix is pressed. Once the computer reboots a log should appear could you post that please
Not sure if this makes a difference, but my computer is not automatically rebooting. I am doing it after the run fix scan. Once it reboots I am doing the quick scan and attached is the log.
OK it does not want to go lets use a bigger hammer
Download and Install Combofix
Download ComboFix from one of the following locations:
VERY IMPORTANT !!! Save ComboFix.exe to your Desktop *

[*]When finished, it shall produce a log for you.
[*]Please include the C:\ComboFix.txt in your next reply.
Notes:
Please make sure you include the combo fix log in your next reply as well as describe how your computer is running now
Now I can’t even get on the Internet. I guess firefox and IE were marked for deletion.
Reboot that happens sometimes with combofix - and all will be back to normal
Alright, so here’s the combofix log.
OK that got one now lets take out the other
Folder:: c:\users\mrbond\AppData\Local\Citrix Registry:: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run] "CitrixUpdate"=-Save this as [b]CFScript.txt[/b], in the same location as ComboFix.exe
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v666/sUBs/CFScriptB-4.gif
Refering to the picture above, drag CFScript into ComboFix.exeWhen finished, it shall produce a log for you at C:\ComboFix.txt which I will require in your next reply.
Latest combofix log.
Have the alerts ceased ?
Yeah, I haven’t gotten one. I really appreciate it. Thanks for your time and patience with me.
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
Now the best part of the day ----- Your log now appears clean 
A good workman always cleans up after himself so…The following will implement some cleanup procedures as well as reset System Restore points:
Run OTL
[*]Under the Custom Scans/Fixes box at the bottom, paste in the following
:Commands [resethosts] [purity] [emptytemp] [EMPTYFLASH] [Reboot]
[*]Then click the Run Fix button at the top
[*]Let the program run unhindered, reboot the PC when it is done
Remove ComboFix
[*]Hold down the Windows key + R on your keyboard. This will display the Run dialogue box
[*]In the Run box, type in ComboFix /Uninstall (Notice the space between the “x” and “/”) then click OK
http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee362/Essexboy3/Misc%20screen%20shots/CF_Uninstall-1.jpg
[]Follow the prompts on the screen
[]A message should appear confirming that ComboFix was uninstalled
Run OTL and hit the cleanup button. It will remove all the programmes we have used plus itself.
We will now confirm that your hidden files are set to that, as some of the tools I use will change that
[*]Click Start.
[*]Open My Computer.
[*]Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options.
[*]Select the View Tab.
[*]Under the Hidden files and folders heading select Do not show hidden files and folders.
[]Click Yes to confirm.
[]Click OK.
