I normally use TCPView from Sysinternals as I can run it off my flash drive, but yesterday I installed Comodo Firewall and set it to allow all traffic.... Then "View Connections" to watch the connections.

Well, it turns out that the computer was indeed clean as all the anti-malware software reported. the problem was that their router had been compromised and was setup to give bad DNS info to the computers on the LAN. The router http port was also changed from the default so that one couldn't log into the router! I discovered this by watching the network traffic and noticed that DNS requests were going to an unrecognised IP address. Once I set the computer's DNS manually to the correct servers, the popups stopped. A portscan on the router gave me the listening port, so I could eventually log on to router and erase the DNS info that had been inserted. I also re-flashed the router to be safe. Hopefully this helps somone with a similar problem where the anti-malware scanners don't pick up anything on the computer...

I'm not asking for anybody's time or free help, just if someone recognises the infection from the image.

Hi I have a client's computer infected with a browser popup ad wich pops up on every new webpage opened. I'm quite adept at removing infections, but this one has got me stumped. So far I've run a Malwarebytes full scan which found nothing. I've also done the same with SuperAntiSpyare, Hitman Pro, ADWCleaner, JRT, Avast Rootkit Scanner.. all scans come up clean. I've run HijackThis as well, which shows no suspicious entries.... So I'm hoping someone here will recognise this particular popup format as now I'm stuck... Please see attached screenshot. tks roger

Thanks to you both.. I'll use the method as indicated by Firefox above in the meantime. Its not often that I need a manual update, but when I do its always an emergency. Thanks also for the explanation exile360, at least now I know what's going on! -r

Hi I know this has been asked before, but I've never really seen a definitive answer. Why are the manual updates not easily found on the site, and why are they not updated regulalry? Even once a week would be better than the current situation where the only manual update I can find (http://data.mbamupdates.com/tools/mbam-rules.exe) is almost 2.5 months old! Is there any real reason why manual updates are not well supported? SAS manual updates are readily available on their site and is updated almost daily.... tks

Is there any reason why the manual update is so way behind? i just downloaded it and its almost a month old. Also, why isn't there a download link to the update on the downloads page? I always have to look really hard (or search the forums here) to find it?
