Thanks for placing this on Ros :):)

I have just done a Flash Player Cache check from using the site you give, what was in flash player cache but quinquecahue, despite all the scans I have done so far.

I have added a site here for people to do a check on their own flash player cache

I think the trojan appears once the performanceoptimizer has downloaded itself, I may be wrong. Some are getting warnings of a trojan being blocked, and others have had to remove trojans.

ps have tried on Options bur can't find browse history on that.

on the "tools" drop down sue is there a "delete browsing history" section? If so go into that x

Budgie, I believe there is a lot of truth in what you have just said.

As far as I can tell, this is not a trojan per-se but just a dodgy site which wants to sell you some software to cure a problem that you don't actually have. The nasty bit, as far as I can tell is that there is something, whether in a cookie, or a piece of malicious code, which tries to direct you to their site.

It is possible that this is the trojan bit and also why it is hard to eliminate, because it lies dormant and then bursts into life later.

Sorry to be a pain,I click on TOOLS and all it says is Options at the bottom,onlt thing that comes up is about Firefox.

I used to know how to get to cookies cos Jude in USA did a maintenance thread for us.

Will look for that thread.

Sue

Sue, if you are using Firefox, tools options privacy and then you will see the bits about cookies

Ron is well aware of the various threads about this problem, what he was suggesting was that if everybody looked at what adverts were showing on the page at the time it might help nail the problem, there must be dozens of adverts that pop up on a rotating basis and if we all make a note of the adverts that are on screen at the time and they turn out to be the same one it will help everybody and get it sorted.
