Greetings All,

I am new to the forums. I am a tech and I have a stumper on my hands....

I've beaten my head all day on this one. Working from home, this came out of nowhere today and is actually preventing me from working because it is so annoying. I think it might be a new variant of the VX2. I am posting my FindIt Output log and also HiJack This. Thanks for your assistance.

Hey, sry for the delay, BUT, run HJT and place checks next to these:

R3 - Default URLSearchHook is missing
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SurfSideKick 3] C:\Program Files\SurfSideKick 3\Ssk.exe
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [PopUpStopperFreeEdition] "C:\PROGRA~1\PANICW~1\POP-UP~1\PSFree.exe"
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [SurfSideKick 3] C:\Program Files\SurfSideKick 3\Ssk.exe

Hmm, so try that, tell me if it's still having problems, and post another log.
thanks.

Thanks, but this is a solved issue. It took 10 days but the system is all clean, and thankfully without having to format/restore.
