Recommended for You- Malware

Has anyone been getting this malware?  It has been troubling me for many weeks and tech support "hasn't had any other issues like this".  In any browser I use(Chrome, Firefox, IE9) I get a pop up in the lower right corner that looks like an I phone or another smart phone.  Immediately afterwords if I click on a link I get redirected to another site.  Thankfully Sophos blocks the redirect but the pop up remains.  If I hit the X on the pop up to close it another pop up stays on the desktop that says Recommended for You.

I have scanned the pc many times never finding a virus, and as I search other forums there are plenty of people that gotten this but not one resolution?

If anybody has any ideas, please let me know.  I reset the hosts file with microsoft fix it and that didn't work either.

  • Hello CLO-Ride,

    there's a fairly recent thread in this forum with "Recommended for You" as subject. I suggest you look it up. Seems like PHB never engaged Support though. Refer them to that thread - while some add-ons obviously block the annoying part the cause likely sits deeper as it affects all browsers, thus there should be traces in the data collected by SDU.

  • I had to remove my Firefox browser and then reload it rid myself from that annoying anomaly. It worked for me! I also reloaded my Yahoo Web search as well!
