^Pretty much.

Norton's become a such a bloated mess over the years that it's practically malware itself (IMHO).

I have spybot do a daily scan and run malware bytes every month or so for good measure.

how often do you go to "that" site?   O:-)
Toonces - Don't ask me, I just close my eyes and take it.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

Well the $%^! issue has returned. Should I run Malwarebytes again like mirth mentioned? Maybe it will take a couple of tries to get rid of?

Run Malwarebytes and Spybot - http://www.safer-networking.org/mirrors/. Make sure they're both fully updated.

I'd do a full system scan with Norton as well. 

If you have an alternate machine you can use, disconnect the infected one from the internet while you disinfect it.

Don't use the infected machine for anything mission critical (online banking, ecommerce, etc) until you're sure it's clean.

Let's not go to such extremes until we know the extent of the problem. Gus still has to live his life.

Malwarebytes found nothing, moving on to Spybot.

EDIT: Malwarebytes found 1 bad file. Running Spybot now.

Well the issue happens in Chrome and IE. I have grown to hate FF.

I have a ten year old steam powered Mac laptop. It's about to die.

Spybot found 276 items of filth. Destroyed the really bad ones. Now immunizing. Fingers crossed.
