cluberti Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 The solution is gonna involve some investigative work by you to help us, because the MSFN crystal ball is in the shop currently. Please start by running hijackthis on the affected machine and attach the log to your next post here, for starters.We're really bad even with the crystal ball at guessing, but pretty good once we have data .

MrJinje Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 To be honest, any corporate problem that takes longer to solve than the time it takes to provision a new machine, does not need to be solved. You have to weigh how many hours you have worked this problem against how long it would have taken you to reformat/reinstall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 ...until it happens twice. Then, might as well fix it and find root cause, otherwise it'll just keep re-appearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrJinje Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 (edited) If it turns out to be an employee surfing for pr0n, the HR reps will have a lunch of him. We have fired many employees for violating that little policy, very embarrassing way to go.Another way to go might be to configure that website (pr0n address) into the "Restricted Zone" via group policy, or better yet configure the DNS/gateway/router to bar access to that site. That would help prevent a future infection. Edited January 7, 2010 by MrJinje Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herbalist Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 At a place of employment, office and workstation computers should only get internet access if it's necessary for them to perform their jobs. Reformatting might be the fastest way to fix the problem (assuming your office has all the data on these PCs backed up, but finding and fixing the actual problem could show who is the source of this problem.

MrJinje Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 (edited) Has the OP already ruled out a browser helper object. These would be beyond all the measures the OP employed (not found in start up, clear cookies, history). Dig around in the Manage Add-on console (IE Options) and see if there are any randomly named, unsigned, unknown BHO's and react accordingly. Disable them one by one until the pop-up stops. Then after you are 100% sure you know which add-on is causing trouble, create a group policy setting that prevents usage/installation of that particular add-on.The settings are controlled from here, via group policy.Windows Components\Internet Explorer\Security Features\Add-on Management Edited January 9, 2010 by MrJinje Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stefan2078 Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Try Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware which can remove trojans, worms, adware, malware from the computer it's really a good antivirus software that has a high detection rate, consumes low system resources and is fast.

rwycuff Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Mr Jingie has the right idea its either a BHO or Could be Hosts file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
