    Hello,

    I seem to have acquired an annoying but not totally destructive malware of some kind. Every third time I click a link from a google search result, a new window opens (I browse with firefox) containing somewhere between 5-8 tabs of various advertisement pages. Some of those advertisments end up being "server not found" or various other browser error messages. In any case, I want to get rid of it because who knows what kind of information it might also have access to.

    The problem has evaded efforts to clean it with spybot search and destroy and CCCleaner. Attached is my log from an MGTools scan.

    Thanks in advance.

    It appears that combofix may have solved the problem. I will post back if the problem appears again. Sorry for the trouble.
