No thanks, I had to wipe out windows and reinstall.

Bump

Problem started yesterday morning. Peachtree accounting program would start to open, then freeze. Tried to open task manager to kill it, it opens then closes. Ran free MBAM and did a scan. It didn't find anthing. Ran adwcleaner, it found a couple of things and removed them, still same problem. In safe mode taskmgr works. Created a new user, logged in, same problem. Ran TDSSKiller, found nothing. Ran sfc /scannow it found no problems. Tried to do a system restore to the previous day, it wouldn't work, gave an error about a possible anti-virus problem so I disabled Norton Security and tried again, same anti-virus issue. Ran FRST and didn't see anything glaring but I'm not an expert. Also ran MBAR but don't remember the outcome. Just ran MBAR again, no issues detected. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

All is well... thanks for your help.

I think you may have gotten it this time. I'm not constantly getting the popup from Norton saying it blocked something. I cleared Firefox's cache before going to any websites, so that may have helped too. I'll keep testing for a while. Thanks again.

Not really... I have a number of custom settings in it, a static ip address, custom port redirects for ftp server, etc. This PC is not normally on my network, my brother brought it to me to try to fix because he is not computer literate.

and I'm continuously having the issue where Norton blocks attempts.

Yes, none of the others have it.

Yes

Sorry, it didn't attach. here it is. FRST.txt

THeir back..... Ads by name popups are back. Attached is new frst.txt

Thank you for your assistance and the recommended software list. I wasn't aware the MBAE existed. I'll be buying you a beer. CHEERS !!

The popups seem to be gone..... tks. Occasionally though, I'll click on a link or the play button on a video, and another tab will open up (the webpage it tries to load is different every time) and I'll get a message from Norton saying "Norton blocked an attack by Web Attack: Fake Scan Webpage 7". Not sure if that's spyware or something else but at least norton seems to be doing it's job.
