    I don't know what happened but the adware has completely disappeared. I didn't run any anti-adware software, I didn't format or anything, didn't update my browser...???

    Another thing that was happening that has also stopped was that I was unable to read comments on certain message boards, like ESPN, and that seems to be fixed now too??? I use Firefox and it usually tells you when it's been updated but that didn't happen so I am really not sure what has happened...

    Even my Steam browser, which the adware would pop up in, is working properly again. Maybe a windows security update...?

    Maybe? What are you using for virus software? Maybe an update to that caught and fixed it. You should be able to go into the logs/history for it and check.

    Hopefully it wont just reappear.

    Sorry Haz I really wanna say where he got it but due to the damned hippa laws I can't...lol

    But I can tell you this that Ashley Madisons site has a malware on it that does the identical thing... But then so does Johnny Madisons site for gay cheaters. So it's a fifty fifty on where he got it. It either came through his front door or back door....
