I am having trouble on my wife's notebook with the JS/Psyme virus and porn popups.
About 5 minutes after getting on the internet, or just plugging in the wireless card you get a popup from a porn site (same site every time). You close that and five minutes later you get a bunch of popups at once that are hard to get a handle on but you can if you are quick enough (again the same sites every time).
AVG finds the virus and identifys it as JS/Psyme in the temporary internet files and will remove it. But... even if I go in and empty temporary internet files, delete cookies, clear history, and empty the Java Plug in cache... The next time you connect to the internet or put in the wireless card, same thing.
I installed SpyBot and AdAware, ran the scans and they didn't find anything. That was after running AVG and dumping all of the caches.
Any help on where this thing is hiding and why it keeps coming back?
