How to remove "RON ads by cpmsky"

ertroutman · Oct 5, 2008

so im not the most computer-literate person around...

a pop up keeps coming up (via internet explorer) when i start up my pc. my default is firefox so i know something is wrong

i have ccleaner,adaware and spybot... checked everything and it is still happening!

there is a cpmsky in my add/remove programs but when i go to "uninstall" it says the file cant be found. go figure.

any ideas? ive tried reading the related posts but i am not sure about posting logs, etc. maybe someone can give me step by step info??

thanks!

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:

If you run into problems trying to run the READ & RUN ME or any of the scans in normal boot mode. You can run the 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:

Starting your computer in Safe mode

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.
