Posted: Thu Jan 08, 2009 12:04 pm Post subject: Annoying Google Ads! The current suspect is 'ECATA' |
|
|
Okay. I'm a big user of Google, just like alot of people.
And I havn't downloaded anything recently, but everytime I try and open a link off of Google a god damn ad pops up in it's place! The link to the website I want only starts to work after i've clicked it 2-4 times.
What i'm trying to download is .NET Framework 3.5
It does this for ALL links on Google.
Can anyone help me here?
I probably have some annoying ad program somewhere.
Is it possible to get rid of it?
EDIT: Okay, i've found something out, all my searches are taking me through this thing called ecata!
It's taking me through that website about 2 more and then to an annoying ad I don't want to be on.
If that can help in any other way? Like if anyone knows about Ecata
EDIT: Also my AV's refuse to update!
EDIT: This just keeps getting WORSE AND WORSE!! I've found out that other people have gotten this before, people have said AV's won't find it. Aparantly the file is c:\windows\system32\drivers\mqpdwhospwsw.sys and it's extremely hidden. It redirects me from sites. Slows down my downloads, Won't even let me download things from Microsoft or respectable AV Sites!

I've already scanned my internet browsers files.
I started a whole computer scan before I left.
I also did one last night and nothing came up.

you shouldn't be getting pop ups when clicking google links. I never have/had them before, you should really scan with your AV

I've already had that answer.
And i've told them, I scanned last night. And before I left I put on a whole computer scan.
And I got nothing when I scanned last night.

download firefox.
www.firefox.com
download faggot plus.
http://adblockplus.org/en/
run it and restart firefox soon as it's done
you never have to see an ad on the interweb again.

You sure that'll work?
Because what actually happens, is when I click on the link, it opens what I wanted into a new window, and changes the url into some annoying ad that I don't want to see.

Don't scan with an antivirus, especially AVG. They can't do everything, and viruses are the priority, while you seem to have Adware/other malware. To fix your problem, download Spybot Search & Destroy and Lavasoft Ad-Aware Free. Do full scans with those for the most effective removal of spyware and/or adware.
EDIT:
faggot Plus is quite useful, but in this case it would be a workaround, at best.

I have Spybot Search & Destroy. I'm not sure if it picked anything up. I hadn't been on my computer for a while before I found I kept getting a load of unwanted ads.
I'll try Lavasoft aswell. I'll make sure to do full scans with both.. that'll take a while D:

I dont know it was like 3 years ago..... more like 6 or + but w/e
there would be porn popups. You can also delete your account and make
a new one... thats what I do now if I want to go you know where I make
a new acc and then I delete it. I dont know if you want to because that
would remove all your d/ls.
