Still have a problem with pop-ups on webpages

[mfessaru]

I still have a problem after goin through the entire "Updated 8 - Virus/Spyware/Malware preliminary removal instructions.

When webpages are accessed, some of the words are double-underlined, and when I go to that word (no click is necessary), a pop-up appears.

Some web pages have that annoying "feature". Nothing dangerous.

Pop-Ups

Yes, but it was happening in every web page. Not sure if it still happens. Surprisingly, after I did the malware/virus retrieval the hyperlinks in my Outlook started to open instead of getting that annoying talk to your administrator message.

MBAM and Superantispyware didn't detect anything beside couple of tracking cookies, which are harmless.

As for HJT, you can re-run it and checkmark:
- O16 - DPF: {DF780F87-FF2B-4DF8-92D0-73DB16A1543A} (PopCapLoader Object) - http://www.shockwave.com/content/bejeweled2/sis/popcaploader_v10.cab
Click "Fix checked" button.

Other than that, I don't see anything else.

Pop-Ups

Thanks.

That's what I thought as well -- cookies, no big deal. It's very strange. They completely bypass the pop-up blocker.

This type of advertisement is called intellitxt.
If you use Firefox, AdblockPlus add-on will block them. You'll still see very same text, but it won't be double underlined and so called fly-outs won't bother you.
