  1. Thanks, but what Malwarebytes and also AdwCleaner weren't able to fix, Spybot did fix. At least I think it's fixed because Malwarebytes is no longer giving me warnings about Spigot.A and my computer, including Firefox, is working just fine. But thanks for the offer to help!
  2. Well, blender, it didn't work. As far as I can tell I haven't got syncing set on any of my devices (not even sure what syncing is). I made sure Firefox was closed and turned off my Samsung mobile and tablet and ran another scan. When it was done I got the same Spigot.A message as before. One thing that might help is that I remembered that the reason I installed Adblocker in Firefox is that somehow I infected my computer with AdChoices. The bastards that created it put the install button where the close window button normally is, and I couldn't get rid of the damned windows it opens up. Does that help?
  3. Thanks for the reply. Here you go. Spigot.A.zip
  4. For several days, every single time Malwarebytes completes a scan, I receive this warning: Vendor: PUP.Optional.Spigot.A Location: C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\cc6syk4c.default\prefs.js And every single time I quarantine it and delete it, but the warnings never end. If this really is malware, why can’t Malwarebytes get rid of it? Could this be a false positive? I see no indication anywhere in my system of any infection by Spigot.A, and neither Spigot.A nor Dealio are listed in my installed programs. I’ve run full scans with Norton, Ad-Aware, Advanced SystemCare Pro and System Mechanic, and they find nothing. I suspect this is not a malicious file but something that Firefox needs and recreates every time it is deleted. So, if it is a false positive, how can I stop these endless Malwarebytes warnings, and if it really is a malware infection, how can I get rid of it once and for all? Thanks
