Inactive Fling.com Redirection Malware

Status
Not open for further replies.
Hello,
I have something on my computer. I have no idea where it came from. But every, about 4 seconds, a webpage I am visiting will be redirected to Fling.com. I've never even heard of the site. I have no idea where I could have gotten this virus from. But its annoying as hell.

I am using Firefox, and Vista SP1.

The odd thing about this virus is that its only affecting the first tab of browsing in Firefox. I've attached the three log files requested.

Thanks.
 
Scans are clean & HJT does not raise suspicion.

I think it was that my Java version was not up to date. I updated it and then restarted my computer and found that the problem had not been fixed but about a day later it was no longer happening.

So, I'm not going to complain, thanks for your help.
