Oscar, you could try re-installing Chrome now & see if that fixes the problem ! It's not an infection or i would of found it ! Some people have reported that Avast has give them false positives (false warnings) about pop-ups, but i have never had any ! Let me know if they happen again & see if you can get a screen copy for me ! Thanks Chuck Your welcome !

It should of showed up, next time move it to the chest to Quarantine it, then send me a copy here !! Go ahead & run a scan with Avast to see if it finds anything !! Chuck

Next time get me a report of what the threat says then i can have more to go with or do you have a copy of it ?? You can go into Avast & check for threats or have it do a scan !! Chuck

Oscar are you still having the redirects ?? Have you tried a different browser ?? I prefer FireFox for all my needs, and recommend it to all users that i clean their computers !!! I keep IE for a back up but never use it. I have never used Chrome & have some tell me it's not that good !! I think the problem could be in Chrome, i would delete it & try a different browser for a while, then let me know if you still get redirects ! Your thoughts please ?? Chuck

Oscar, lets try some of the scans as before !! Download and run farbar service scanner http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/farbar/FSS.exe Please download Farbar Service Scanner (FSS) and run it on the computer with the issue. * Make sure the following options are checked: *Internet Services *Windows Firewall *System Restore *Security Center/Action Center *Windows Update *Windows Defender * Press "Scan". It will create a log (FSS.txt) in the same directory the tool is run. Please copy and paste the log to your reply. NEXT

Oscar, no you don't have to uninstall one, just keep one shut off if you want. I have both mine running at all times (years) & never had any problems. Does this only happen on PCH site ??? Can you post me more info on it ?? Ok, lets try a few other tools/programs ! Vista and Windows 7 users: 1. These tools MUST be run from the executable. (.exe) every time you run them 2. With Admin Rights (Right click, choose "Run as Administrator") Download ComboFix from this location: Link 1 http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/sUBs/ComboFix.exe Link 2 http://www.infospyware.net/antimalware

Ore,That's looking good ! Clean up with OTL Right-click OTL.exe and select " Run as administrator " to run it. This will remove all the tools we used to clean your pc. Close all other programs apart from OTL as this step will require a reboot On the OTL main screen, press the CleanUp! button Say Yes to the prompt and then allow the program to reboot your computer. You can now delete any tools we used if they remain on your Desktop. =========================== I know you may have some of these installed, this is just my standard all clean speech ! Congratulati

Just to let you know that using more than 1 antivirus can lead to a conflict between them. You have Windows Defender & Avast, but i have run both for a long time & never had any problems with either. So as long as they are not giving you false positives then it's ok ! Did you install/create this >>> C:\Users\Oscar\Desktop\IF I DIE OPEN THIS folder, i just need to know ???
