Hello and welcome to Techspot.

Very Important: Before deciding whether you should clean or reformat your system, go and read this thread HERE and decide what it is you want to do.

If after reading the above, you wish to clean your system, do the following.

Go and read the Viruses/Spyware/Malware, preliminary removal instructions. Follow all the instructions exactly.

Post fresh HJT, AVG Antispyware and Combofix logs as attachments into this thread, only after doing the above.

Also, let me know the results of the AVG Antirootkit scan.

Regards Howard :wave: :wave:

If you want to stop getting these kinds of problems, either

a) stop going to dodgy websites looking for free porn, or

b) keep going to dodgy websites looking for free porn, but do it in a VMware virtual machine so that its sandboxed.
 
Hi Phantasm66: One of the biggest culprits for causing the CID advertising popups is the MSN Messenger Plus add on. It comes bundled with all kinds of crap. The Cid popups are very similar to a lop advertising infection, which does exactly the same thing.

The CID problem is all over the web at the moment, so I doubt it`s a porn problem, unless an awful lot of folks are downloading porn of course lol.
