Annoying Pop Ups and Links within web pages using Internet Explorer

Welcome to Major Geeks!

Many times these are normal advertisement popups from things like AdSense or IntelliTxt (aka Vibrant Media - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IntelliTXT ) which are a form by which websites recover some of the costs of operation. They underline keywords on webpages and when you hover over them, an advertisement will appear. Is this what you are referring too.

I see a lot of services and process related to Splashtop Connect on your PC. Is this something you knowingly installed?

Also I see a bunch of keygens and illegal software (like Adobe ). This is very common way to get infections.

Uninstall the below and reboot:

Now please download Junkware Removal Tool to your desktop.

• Shut down your protection software now to avoid potential conflicts.
• Run the tool by double-clicking it. If you are using Windows Vista or Seven, right-mouse click it and select Run as Administrator.
• The tool will open and start scanning your system.
• Note: That JRT may reset your home page to a google default so you will need to restore your home page setting if this happens.
• Please be patient as this can take a while to complete depending on your system's specifications.
• On completion, a log (JRT.txt) is saved to your desktop and will automatically open.
• Attach JRT.txt to your next message.

Do you still have problems?

 

You're welcome.

Great news! But since you uninstalled Splashtop Connect, let's make sure all of it went away since it had a lot running.


Now run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista or Win7, don't double click, use right click and select Run As Administrator).

Then attach the below logs:

• the C:\_OTM\MovedFiles log
• C:\MGlogs.zip

 

Sorry that was a typo. That line was supposed to be removed. I did not have you run OTM.

Your logs are good now.



If you are not having any other malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:

1. We recommend you keep Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for scanning/removal of malware.
3. Go back to step 4 oof the READ ME and renable your Disk Emulation software with Defogger if you had disabled it.
4. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis. If you don't see it or it will not uninstall, don't worry about it. Just move on to the next step.
5. If running Vista or Win 7, it is time to make sure you have reenabled UAC by double clicking on the C:\MGtools\enableUAC.reg file and allowing it to be added to the registry.
6. Goto the C:\MGtools folder and find the MGclean.bat file. Double click ( if running Vista, Win7, or Win 8 Right Click and Run As Administrator ) on this file to run this cleanup program that will remove files and folders related to MGtools and some other items from our cleaning procedures.
8. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
9. If you are running Win 7, Vista, Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:
   • Refer to the cleaning procedures pointed to by step 6 of the READ ME
     for your Window version and see the instructions to Disable System Restore which will flush your Restore Points.
   • Then reboot and Enable System Restore to create a new clean Restore Point.
10. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
