Hijacked the Popup Virus
My PC got affected by one of the Popup virus. Whenever I access internet, a popup window will open with some junk site. I just did some googling to fix this problem. In some blog i got a pointer to this tool - HijackThis. Fantastic tool, it clearly mentions what are the unwanted stuff in a machine. It also has an option to fix that problem.
This popup virus came because of one browser plugin, I don’t know how it got installed in my browser. This tool correctly pointed me that plugin. I removed that plugin and all unwanted application from my machine(same tool pointed me that also). Now i am escaped from that popup. But I am still thinking how that plugin got installed in my machine??
