Random pop up ads keep appearing? - Carguy123 - 04-08-2014 07:10 PM
I use Firefox and I noticed lately if I go onto eBay especially, this random video ad comes up in a new window. I have Firefox set to block pop up ads. Plus I have Adblock. How do I stop these annoying survey ads?

It's a rootkit go to http://www.bleepingcomputer.com for full instructions, you will need malwarebytes and combofix regular virus programs can't even see rootkits, you have to use malwarebytes in safe mode and even sometimes you have to rename the mbam.exe file because rootkits are programmed to recognize it and disable it
