So as soon as younger relatives used the PC I can't get rid of this stuff. No anti-virus I tried fixed it and it's not a Firefox plugin. Any advises?


This happens on many images on any website.

Neither of those have ever been there and only seem to happen on GTP forums.

Did you check a different browser (IE?)? If it is firefox only than that narrows it down.

Have you tried going over the internet history? It might get you an idea of what they got into.
 
Run Combofix which you can download from bleepingcomputers.

It gets rid of most crap, then a final scan with a good anit spyware program like spybot will do.

Lastly, never let a child use the computer.
 
Thanks for the advises, I really appreciate it.
@DQuaN, Superantispyware found a bunch of stuff after a 2h scan but the problem still persists. I checked the plugins/extensions and other than Java, Shockwave and the ADblock add-on that I installed, nothing's there. With ADBlock turned on the stuff in the second pic goes away but it's still not the solution I'm looking for. It seems to only happen on Firefox.

@neema_t, I don't seem to have that FLV player installed but I'll do those steps when I get back today, thanks :)
 
Thanks, I've already tried adwcleaner and a bunch of other programs. The stuff just doesn't go away. ADBlock makes things much better but I think I'll end up just reinstalling Windows.
 
That's an interesting program, can't really crack out how it works though. I'll try to get more in depth with it, thanks :)

There's not much to it. Place it on the desktop and run it. Click Ok and Yes to all prompts and let it do its thing. There is a 90% chance it will sort out your problem, 9% chance it won't, and 1% chance that it will bsod and you'll have to do a repair. If you can't run any programs after running it, reboot again and it will be fine.

Once it's done, post the log here. If it hasn't helped, maybe post a hijackthis log here too. I'll give you instructions on that after we see what this does.
 
I think it just worked :D Thank you so much! 👍

Here's the log

So it found quite a few things including what looks like a fake VLC player.

Is it any better now?
 
The ads disappeared for a bit but got back after a few minutes, seems it's reinstalling itself each time it's removed. :/
 
Delete all system restore points

Reset firefox to default, there is no need to uninstall and reinstall
Reset by doing the following.
Click on Help>Troubleshooting Information>Click on Reset Firefox

Go to C:\users\<profile name>\appdata\roaming and delete anything that looks like FLV player

Go to C:\users\<profile name>\appdata\local\temp and delete everything in here.

Run combofix again

This is what i have in my roaming directory, yours should be similar

Ok, download Hijackthis. Run it, do a system scan and post the log file.

To be honest, if Combofix hasn't sorted it, I'd start preparing for a rebuild of your OS.
 
HiJackThis shouldn't be used anymore, OTL from Oldtimer is the better tool.
HJT doesn't recognize most newer threats.

It seems to have worked. There was this plugin called "shoppingsuggestions" on about:support that wasn't on the regular plugins/extensions menu. I did those steps, just didn't run combofix yet but it seems to have fixed it. I guess if it reappears I'll repeat the process. Thanks 👍
