Recommended For You

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,

That looks fine, I was hoping that might be a quick fix. Searching for

"Recommended For You" adverts

on Google reveals a few people with the same symptom, some of those posts might help.

For example, this might help, you:

If that doesn't help, the most efficient method to handle this sort of thing is probably to give Support a call so they can obtain all the info off the machine. They may need to run a number of tools to see what's going on.

If I had the problem infornt of me I would use the following tools:

Autoruns:

Process Explorer:

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653

Process Monitor:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645

to work out what is taking place to cause the symptoms you describe. Between them you should be able to track down how it's operating.

Regards,

Jak
