Please guys!!! I have no idea what might have caused this (working on 2 computers at the same time). I have a virus called nexplore that has constant differant popups. It doesn't show up in add or remove, it is not in program files on C drive. I have tried several virus scans like Trend Micro and malwarebytes and Spybot S&D. Nothing sees it. It has one interesting popup but it probably wouldn't impress my daughter if she saw it. This is a bad one. Thanks.

You should have posted in the Malware Removal forum. Don't forget to include a HijackThis log by doing the following:

Please click here to download and install the HijackThis installer.

Run it and select Do a system scan and save a logfile.

The log will be saved in Notepad. Copy and paste the log in your next post.

Do not fix anything

Your computer is infected. That's why I wanted you to post in the Malware Removal forum.

Note: Please be patient in asking for help there, as the malware experts are often very busy.

Hi Tom, I've read your e-mail. All you need to do is click on the link in my post to get to your new thread. Another option would be to cick on your user name and select Find all posts by tan_sy
