Re: "app.mediaplex.com"
I recently started getting this strange message in a small window, I am running MSIE:
The server app.mediaplex.com is asking for your username and password. The server reports that it is from Conversant Ad Server User.WARNING:Your User Name and Password will be sent using basic authentication on a connection that isn't secure.
This window also has an empty cell for a username and one for a Password, and buttons for OK and Cancel
I have run my AVG antivirus to no avail. Can anyone help please?
Check your startup items with CCleaner. If you see Mediaplex amongst them, disable it with CCleaner.
Get CCleaner here:
This was just asked a couple of days ago. Your system is infected with malware. Download & run AdwCleaner: https://www.malwarebytes.com/adwcle...
When you've run ADWCleaner run this also. It's from the same firm but looks for different things: MalwareBytes:
https://www.malwarebytes.org/
(use the "Free Download" button rather than the "Buy Now" button).
After the install go to "Settings > Protection". Under Scan Options move the "Scan for rootkits" slider over to On and Run the Threat Scan. Quarantine anything it finds.Always pop back and let us know the outcome - thanks
Thanks for the reply, I ran ADWCleaner and the problem seems to be solved.
