406042 2005-11-21 07:16:00 Hello everyone,

I've recently been having some problems with popups...but they don't "pop up." You see, I have Firefox set up so that any link I click will open in a new tab. A porn site has been opening in a new tab, and it's the same site every time. When I leave my computer and come back later, I have several of the pages open in several tabs. It's something like [edit: URL removed] or something...that's not the exact URL, but it's somewhere around that. I ran Spybot - Search & Destroy and Ad-Aware SE Personal, deleted several threats, but it hasn't seemed to work. Please help! I don't want my parents to be in the room and a porn site to pop up when it really wasn't me who went to it in the first place!


[Edit: I have removed your URL as it loaded an X-rated website which is not appropriate viewing for this forum - Jen (Moderator)]

And thanks, johnboy. Here's the link to the log file analysis if you guys wanna see: www.hijackthis.de

I know what I should get rid of, but I'm curious about the unknown ones...if you guys know anything about them, or if I should just google them...Thanks!

That wfwall1.exe and skyaffliliates.exe file may be hard to remove.

Post another log after you've done the above. Post another log here, not a link to another site.

406050 2005-11-21 09:06:00 Well if he's gonna post it there, why post it here? And tell us about it? Speedy Gonzales (78)
406051 2005-11-21 21:08:00 But Speedy, the site linked was the hijack analysis site, its a very useful way to post the link. It offers reasonable diagnoses suggestions as well which is a bonus in many cases.

I think its a good way of saving server storage space (its auto deleted after a few days from that site).
