Malwarebytes doesn't see it, nor does AVG. I have uninstalled and re-installed Firefox, but that didn't help either. I have removed Java, Flash Player, and Shockwave Player from my PC, but still the bugger pops up.

I am running Windows 7, 64 bit, with all the updates. Is it time for a Mac?

Getting a Mac isn't the answer, they are being targeted now.

Hello! I have resolved this problem by following the guide Moderator removed link that promoted a download of paid removal software. Please read the Forum rules and Guidelines and the message that was sent to you, thanks.
