I think the problem's on your end SysTemX; I'm not seeing anything but the website. What browser are you using?

SysTemX · **Joined:** Dec 08, 2013 **Posts:** 1088

Yes Lyle I Believe that it is Firefox once again. just switched browsers and it's clean as. Back to chrome for me ;}

I don't understand your problem SystemX?

You probably installed a toolbar that does this; there are rogue toolbars out there so you have to be careful in this day and age.

Firefox auto updated Sallyanne. It's happened before. Not sure how the webget sidebar is creeping in though.

Will keep an eye out with mine then. I think it usually does auto too.

Looks like your browser has been hijacked. :yell

Check to see that no odd addons or extensions are installed. Also, check your add/remove programs to see if anything unnecessary is installed there. Scan your system for malware/adware.

To really find out what's up, grab a copy of HijackThis and use it to scan your system. HJT is an an essential tool to determine what is actually running in Windows . Sometimes, finding out whether it's an essential process, junk or malware can be a little time consuming.

Handy Firefox reference, About:config entries (use with care).

Definitely hijacked GnuTux. Thankyou for HJT.
Thanks Odin I will look into that.

Snapdo
webget
IcanSell
UrMyHost

Another dodgy looking addition called wondershare. (NOT WonderShare the PDF creator)

HJT removed them but I discovered a tiny little logo that appeared on the search toolbar. Once removed "touch wood" back to normal :tyspin

Some of the shady extensions are in more than one place, you think it's uninstalled and it reappears again.
Check, Firefox | Help | Troubleshooting information | Application Basics | Open Directory
and in Windows, C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\extensions
When you find something questionable use search to find duplicates before you remove it.
Also check, View | Toolbars | Customize... for leftover buttons.

Thanks Odin. I did find around 25 entries, cannot be certain that was all, but the browser is clear and I am informed firefox v30.. just released, is better prepared for this garbage.
