I have been getting pop ups on sites that either don’t have pop ups, or in the case of my own site, a popup that isn’t mine.
I have used Ad Aware 6 and Spybot s&d (advanced mode) and a virus scan and I am still getting them.
A friend told me he had a similar issue a long while ago, and he looked up “hosts” in his files and deleted the one that didn’t belong.
I did this the other night and found 2 .txt files that had my name as the txt file name; both had a line of “code” and was dated the day this started, So I deleted both of them, and they also had another files that looked like a bookmark named the same thing, which I deleted, but that didn’t work either.
I have done another search for “hosts” and have5 files
Wshosts.dll
Hosts.sbs
Hosts.sbs.sig
Hosts
Imhosts.sam
The oldest is Aug 2001 and the newest is March 2003
Anyone have any idea what to do now?
I have XP and IE 6
This is one of the pop ups, the other I see is for AFF
