Hi,

I got this problem on my laptop and it's driving me nuts!!! Everytime I access www.webmsn.com, a searchportal window pops up!!! I used Adware, Spybot S&D, Ewido, CS shredder but it's still popping up. Can someone please take a look at my HJT log and see what's causing this?? Thanks in advance.

Webmsn generates about 3 or 4 popups when you access it, including Searchportal. It is nothing wrong with your PC, it is how their page is setup, probably to generate revenue - and in my opinion, extremely annoying.

However using Firefox instead of Internet Explorer blocks the popups for you.
