I has happened since I opened <snip> to watch movies, but don't know if this has anything to do with it.

Think you will need to remove that link.

Try this HOSTS file in the first instance.

Thanks for the reply.

I have deleted that movie website.

Not sure what I'm supposed to do in the HOSTS file.

Do I download something from that page?

wkt54 if nothing kicked out on malwarebytes take it you updated you defs first before running scan?
you tried running ccleaner to clear computer rubbish out, also they dumped something in your browser. you sure hasn't installed like a toolbar thats kicking the rubbish up?

Yes, just read the instructions according to your operating system....and I meant that you should delete the link from the forum.

Post me a DDS log - should take 2-3 minutes.

Download DDS from the link below and save it to your desktop:

Link

After you've downloaded it and saved it to your desktop:

• Double click DDS to run it.
• Click Start
• When it's finished, DDS will open two logs:

1. DDS.txt
   
2. Attach.txt

Save both reports to your desktop.

Copy & paste the contents of just DDS.txt for now and post it here (you may need to split the log over separate posts)

Go through waddler8's instruction and then look here

Replied to your PM. You can email me the logs if they're to big to post.
