Recently I have had a massive amount of popups on my computer and the root of them seems to be ad.firstadsolution and adyeildmanager. I also get alot from heavy.com and partypoker.com. I'd really appreciate it if someone could tell me how to solve the problem. Below is my HijackThis logfile.
 
Hello and welcome to Techspot.

You`re system is riddled with nasties.

You`re not running any antivirus or firewall programmes, this is a huge security risk and will have contributed to your problems.

Download and install the free AVG antivirus programme and either the free Zonealarm or Kerio firewall programmes. You can get them HERE, HERE and HERE.

Install whichever firewall you chose, followed by AVG and reboot your system the required number of times. Run the AVG updates.

You might want to copy and paste these instructions into a notepad file. Then you can have the file open in safe mode, so you can follow the instructions easier.

Turn off system restore.(XP/ME only) See how here.> http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/tutorial56.html

Boot into safe mode, under your normal user name(NOT THE ADMINISTRATOR ACCOUNT). See how here.> http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/tutorial61.html

In Windows Explorer, turn on "Show all files and folders, including hidden and system". See how here.> http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/tutorial62.html

Run a full system scan with AVG and delete whatever it finds.

Reboot into normal mode, turn system restore back on and rehide your protected OS files.

Then, Go HERE and follow all the instructions exactly.

Post a fresh HJT log as an attachment into this thread, only after doing the above. See HERE for instructions.

Regards Howard :wave: :wave:

here ya go again

Here is the lastest logfile. It seemed the only thing on my computer from the last inspection was the Secure HTTP which I disabled. My computer is definitely running smoother thanks to you. I haven't seen a pop-up since I went through the first series of steps. I really appreciate the help! :giddy:
 
Well done, your HJT log is clean.

If you have any further virus/spyware problems, please post in this thread.
