Recommended For You

PointyHairedBos
I have an annoying popup that slides up from the lower right corner of my browser (both Firefox & IE) that says "Recommended For You". It sort of looks like an image of a cell phone with an ad in it. It has a close button but reappears when the next page opens. Anyone know how to disable this? I have tried AdBlock Plus - doesn't work. Noscript works but hard to manage when it blocks legit Java scripts. I want to permanently remove this virus.

    Hi,

    I assume that it's some sort of redirect using the host file, probably for any site using Google Analytics.

    If you look in you host file, does it have a bunch of entries?

    If so, take a backup of the hosts file and reset it as per:

    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/972034

    If there is still some active component on the machine reverting the file you might have to do more but this is a start.

    Regards,

    Jak
