[QUOTE="jvr, post: 544394, member: 15634"] Thanks Eish, weird thing is that I immediately noticed that it was downloading a separate file in the background (a new browser window has opened), which I immediately stopped/closed. Ironically that download had a name that suggested that it had something to do with ad-stopper. So even though I stopped it immediately and also uninstalled the freeware that I just installed, it is as if it took revenge on me >:D. I have since uninstalled all the bloody freeware downloads that I had, one of which prompted an internet browser window to open and again I just closed it... But these things happen so darn quickly even though I have the anti-virus software & firewall active. I have since disabled the browser add-ons, but the ad generator is still attempting to open up external ads in any web page that I visit (from the infected laptop). [/QUOTE]
