Hi,
Recently i don't know what happen, as i surf the internet, a popup repeatedly comes up. i tried running windows defender, AVG anti spyware, uniblue spyware removal and regcure but to no avail. i'm at a loss here as i don't know what actually happens. Now, my computer is running so slowly and the internet surfing is so slow. Seriously need some diagnosis to my computer problems.
I read a similar thread in the forum but i don't know where to begin with. the popups will come as soon as i click search or even hit the ENTER button on the keypad. usually, the popups addresss is www.hopelessromantic.** or paypopup.com.
I followed part of the thread that i read and used combofix. below is the log that i hav run.
