    Yesterday I woke up to some random pop-up doing some on the web virus scan I quickly closed FF, launched my virus scanner (AVG), Spybot Seach and destroy, AdAware, and Malewarebytes. Found a few things. One of them was punnet.exe which I believe has been deleted. MWB found some vundo files I think were also deleted. My msconfig has nothing in there I don't notice on startup/services. Yet Im still receiving pop ups. Tho they seem to have slowed down.

    I really have no clue what to do. Here is my Hijackthis log if you need it. If you need anything else just ask. This is GREATLY Aprechiated!!!

    Note: I think it has something to do with what this guy is having or had.

    Welcome to Major Geeks!

    Please follow the instructions in the below link and attach the requested logs when you finish these instructions.


    • If something does not run, write down the info to explain to us later but keep on going.
    • Do not assume that because one step does not work that they all will not.
    READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide

    Notes:

    1. If you run into problems trying to run the READ & RUN ME or any of the scans in normal boot mode. You can running steps in safe boot mode but make sure you tell us what you did later when you post logs. See the below if you do not know how to boot in safe mode:
    2. If you have problems downloading on the problem PC, download the tools on another PC and burn to a CD. Then copy them to the problem PC. You will have to skip getting updates if (and only if) your internet connection does not work. Yes you could use a flash drive too but flash drives are writeable and infections can spread to them.
