Comment: I 've been getting porn popups at completely random times, or sometimes not at all. A new IE window opens and it's one of three different porn sites. I've tried AdAware SpyBot Norton HiJackThis SpyBlocs *updated each also Usually I'll be on some random site like google and all of a sudden something pops up. I've looked at my startup, deleted cookies, and at this point I'm out of ideas.

Reply: (edit)I'll post it, but it says not to post the log unless an expert requests..I guess that's you, but another person said that it's risky doing that cause it gives info about my pc..is there something I should delete before I post, or just don't worry about it since I hope we're all here to help each other.

Reply: (edit)Look at the log before you post it. Do you see a social security number or a bank account number? If you do, delete them. I bet you there is no confidential or personal info in that log.

Reply: (edit)hi ffj, first off Open the Task Manager (Ctl-Alt-Del) and kill the mcc.exe next go to the diamond website at this location:http://www.diamondcs.com.au/index.php?page=products, and download this: APM, next reboot into safe mode and do the following: run hijackthis and place a check next to these entries, make sure you have no open windows, and no programs running: hit the fix check button O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [P2P Networking] C:\WINDOWS\System32\P2P Networking\P2P Networking.exe /AUTOSTART O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Multimedia Codecs] C:\WINDOWS\System32\mcc.exe O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [MMTray] C:\Program Files\MUSICMATCH\MUSICMATCH Jukebox\mm_tray.exe now go into your registry and do the following: delete the entire hkey_current_user\software\media codecs registry key remove the registry value that is causing the app to automatically restart when rebooting. the registry value is in "hkey_local_machine\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\run" and it launches the mcc.exe application, referring to it as "multimedia codecs". next i want you to run the APM program and unload mcc.exe from running processes if found. next reboot your computer into normal mode and do the following: delete these files and or folders from your windows and or system32 directory: C:\WINDOWS\System32\P2P Networking\P2P Networking.exe C:\WINDOWS\System32\mcc.exe next to be sure that you don't have any nasty codecs still around, go to tools, internet options, in the temp internet box hit the settings button, then view objects, check out all your active x downloaded programs, if you see one that is suspicious, google it, if found to be related to mcc.exe, kill it! next re enable your system restore. all the best, murve

Reply: (edit)Everything went well up to the registry part...I couldn't locate any "hkey...media codecs key" I even done a search for it, no luck, wasn't sure what to do next. I completed the rest of the instructions, but only time will tell if we solved the problem

Reply: (edit)hi ffj, if you put a check next to the entry: O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Multimedia Codecs] C:\WINDOWS\System32\mcc.exe hijackthis probably deleted the key and value. also on a second look i noticed i missed one entry: O2 - BHO: (no name) - {FDD3B846-8D59-4ffb-8758-209B6AD74ACC} - (no file) put a check next to that one and hit the fix checked button all the best, murve

Reply: (edit)Hey Murve...I followed through with all the instructions except for finding the codecs key, but as you posted above, it must have been fixed. So far so good, it's been about a week and everything is back to normal. Thanks for your time and help, I would have never known what to do, thanks!
