    A few days ago after I downloaded what I thought was a free flash player after clicking on a video on IDKWTF.com. It didnt work so I promply deleted it but have been left with an annoying problem. Every so often in firefox (I haven't tried IE). I get a problem whereby my browser is redirected to a page which says "add served by primawega" if i click something like skip ad i then get redirected to the page I wanted.

    I have Kaspersky 2009 internet security for my firewall and virus scanner and use Malwarebytes, Adaware, Spybot-search and destroy, spyware-blaster, windows defender and Prevx 3.0 to detect spyware/viruses. All of these come up with nothing when I try to find Primawega.

    I have tried your guide and unfortunately SUPERantispyware appears to have found nothing, along with Malware bytes and MG tools (I am running vista 64 bit so didnt try combofix and the rootkit program). I am attaching the logs from these programs in the hope you can help. Thanks very much in advance.

    Welcome to Major Geeks!

    There is nothing showing in your logs. I suggest that you uninstall FireFox and then reboot.

    After reboot, delete the below folders if the still exist:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Messenger Plus! Live

    Now run IE and see if you have the problem or not. If it does, disable all Add-Ons as one may be the source. Look for anything saying Primawega or contextHelper

    Now reinstall FireFox from the below link and see if you have a problem.

    Mozilla FireFox
