Help something is taking over browser!
I keep getting this thing happening to my browser when i'm surfing ic mag . When i click on a forum it is redirecting me and an opaque advert page is coming up over the top of the page i selected on ICmag.
this is what comes up : hxxp://skyble.info/pull.php?url=https://www.icmag.com/ic/forumdisplay.php?f=65535 I've changed the http part to hxxp so it does'nt put up a live link. I have run melware bytes and trend housecall and nothing comes up on the spyware/adware scans. Now i have deleted cookies and macromedia stuff in my folders and the advert has stopped appearing but it still redirects me to : hxxp://skyble.info/pull.php?url=https://www.icmag.com/ic/forumdisplay.php?f=65535 In my history folder in firefox it just comes up as "pull.php" . The ic mag address above is just the page i happened to be clicking on at the time .But it only seems to happen on icmag which is a bit worrying. Does anyone know about this or how i can get rid of this, i have googled it and cant find any info. thanks |

I couldn't find much on it, but here's a quote a mod on the firefox support forums responded to me about it:
"It's possible that your system has been infected with malware. You'll want to install and run these programs, sequentially, not all at one time. https://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php https://www.superantispyware.com/ https://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/ https://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html If these don't find it or can't clear it, post in one of these forums for specialized malware removal help: https://www.spywarewarrior.com/index.php https://forum.aumha.org/ https://bleepingcomputers.com/ https://www.spywareinfoforum.com/ " |

Yay i think it's worked , i ran superantispyware and spybot and they found 200 nasties that malwarebytes did'nt find ,no more skyble has come up so far .
Is this how bad the interweb has become you need 3 or 4 different spy/adware programs to get everything ? wow I just found out one of the music sites i go on is loading my comp up with junk aswell, bastards they never said anything about that when i signed up

just make sure when you install stuff to onlyt add what you want. There are always boxes you will need to uncheck to cancel the installation of other software (toolbars...etc)

Well it did'nt go i just got redirected again
bastards ! i've used 4 scanners and none of them identified it , maybe it is new or something i don't know .I found the files in firefox /profiles/extentions /webplayer and deleted them manually also downloaded a website blocker for firefox (hope that ain't a bug too LOL) i think i will start using chrome instead now and see how that goes .It was a site disguised as mozilla that originally asked me to download it i think and like a fool i must have clicked allow on my firewall d'oh ! |

phed, they get to sell anti virus software.
stuppa, if you're running vista, create a spare guest account, and use that to surf the web. I got one from The Pirate Bay recently that completely took over the account and made it unusable. I just went into another account, deleted the infected account and created a new spare to surf with. No harm done. |
