I did an Avira scan and it doesn’t detect a virus either, but gives few warnings.
Pretty strange, because I got overloaded with pop-ups like I described in opening post.
I uninstalled/removed some old version of symantic av that I had, hadn’t been used for almost a year, and removed some additional old shit that I didn’t use anymore… the pop ups stopped (so far)…
Polonus (or anyone else), could you just check out the warnings in this scan report and advice me what to do about it?
Ah in addition to your post: I’m using the windows firewall.
I’ll also try the rogue remover suggested by wyrmrider…
Here’s the report:
