Okay I'm sick of it and as we all know FR is the best place in the world for good information so this is the deal.

My IE keeps getting these "popup" kinda things from some outfit called "cloudfront". Best I can tell is they're some kind of 3rd party distribution front for certain software packages like flash player and java that bug the ^$%#@ out of you to install this or that.

If I want up upgrade my java, or flash player, or anything else I'll do it myself.

I have a Trojan doing the same thing. AVG has not taken it out like last time. Work in Progress.

For the stubborn ones that malwarebytes and AVG can't remove, download "combofix" from bleepingcomputer.com.

In addition to Malwarebites get Spybot. They do similar things but they sometimes find slightly different malware. Spybot has some additional features to limit cookies and changes to your system. I don’t like the tea timer feature it seems to slow down my system, but I would turn it on until you get the problem. I use both. The free version of LavaSofts Ad Aware is pretty good. Both Malwarebites and Spybot are free. I run them both about once a month.
