    I did this and managed to delete some prgrammes that appear to have been downloaded yesterday. Sadly, the problem persists.

  • Just saw DCM posted this on another thread:
    Hijack this problem is here http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/...09&postcount=1

    (if you have a problem running hijackthis (For some reason your system denied write access to the Hosts file error etc) on vista/W7, right click on hijackthis.exe and run as admin, if that doesn't work, try again holding down the shift key and run as admin). If you are unable to post the log on mse, due to this site's posting bug, upload it here http://freetexthost.com and post a link to the text file instead.
    Friendly greeting!

    it would be useful if people would post on the site feedback section when they hit this hijackthis log posting problem - it's been going on a long time now, the more people who mention it the more likely they will fix it.

    if the problem is chrome only, a hijackthis log may not show anything relevant

    for a quick and dirty malware running check run this, http://live.sysinternals.com/procexp.exe click options, virustotal, tick checkvirustotal.com, then see the virustotal column

    The symptoms you describe are typical of a rogue browser extension, use ccleaner, tools, save to text file, to list all your installed programs, and list all your browser extensions for every browser
