Annual Survey virus not detected by any anti-malware program.

I have been getting the 2014 Annual Visitor's Survey pop up continuously over the last two days. I have checked the add ons - extensions. None found. I have run Windows Defender, MalwareBytes, Hitman Pro, Ad-Aware, and ESET, they detected nothing. I have checked add/remove programs, startup and anywhere else I can think of where a malicious program may hide. Found nothing. The pop up blocker is on with no exceptions. I have reset Firefox. Still there. I am running Windows 8.1 fully updated. Any suggestions? This thing is driving me crazy!

Were the anti-malware tools you used updated when you ran them? They have a definitions database, same as anti-virus software. Be sure to run AdwCleaner, TDSSKiller and others listed in the malware support article that you haven't mentioned.

Sort the list by install date. Look for programs you don't recognize among the recently installed ones. The program name can be SeeSimilar, SuperLyrics, LyricsContainer, Wajam, Webcake, HD-Video, Coupon Server, and others.
Also check if your IPv4 and IPv6 DNS settings have been tampered with. They should be set to "automatically detect", your ISP's servers, or known open DNS services like Google DNS.

    I have an older Kodak which they have stopped supporting and I have to take out the SD card and put it in the card slot to download pictures.  I read other threads where this solved similar problems for others.  Some have a separate card reader but I just use the one on my imac.  Wish it was more convienent to get to it though.

  • I just got rid of MacDefender, I hope.  Is there any anti malware software that is recommended?

    I just got rid of MacDefender, I hope - no thanks to Apple Care.  Does anyone know of any anti- malware software that is effective against this kind of evilness?What about MacKeeper?

    Trojan War
    If you discover a trojan program is running on your computer then look to the following information for assistance:
    1. A recent discussion on the Apple Support Communities: MacDefender Trojan.
    2. An excellent site devoted to Mac Malware: Macintosh Virus Guide
    3. Another site for removing MacDefende, et.al.: MAC Defender Rogue Anti-Virus analysis and Removal
    4. A new removal utility - MacDefenderKiller
    Removing strange software can be a task.  The following outlines various ways of uninstalling software:
    Uninstalling Software: The Basics
    Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash.  Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder.  Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space.  If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
    Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application.  In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
    Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder.  You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder.  You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder.  Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
    Some applications may install a Startup item or a Log In item.  Startup items are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder.  Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences.  Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab.  Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the Delete [-] button to delete it from the list.
    Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS.  Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
    If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term.  Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default.  You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, Easy Find, instead.  Download Easy Find at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
    Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder.  Usually with the same name as the program or the developer.  The item generally has a ".pkg" extension.  Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
    There are many utilities that can uninstall applications.  Note that you must have this software installed before you install software you may need to uninstall.  Uninstallers won't work if you install them after the fact.  Here is a selection:
    AppZapper
    Automaton
    Hazel
    CleanApp
    Yank
    SuperPop
    Uninstaller
    Spring Cleaning
    Look for them and others at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
    For more information visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on removing software and dealing with spyware and malware.
    After removing all the components of the software you may have to restart the computer to fully disable the software.  This will be the case when removing software that has installed a daemon.  After the daemon has been removed you need to restart the computer to stop the daemon.  Alternatively, you can kill the daemon process using the Terminal application or Activity Monitor.

  • Need Help---Why cant I Run my Malware/ Anti-Malware Program?

    Everytime I attempt to run my extensive Anti-Malware Program I get the following Error Code:
    MBAM_ERROR_LOAD_DATABASE (0,7)
    My AVG Anti-virus runs fine!!!

    If your version is smaller than 1.46, then you might get update here:
    [http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam-download.php]
    Or tweak from moderator:
    Download and run mbam-clean.exe from here:
    [http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam-clean.exe]
    It will ask to restart your computer once its run, please allow it to do so.
    Then download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware from here,don't install it just yet:
    [http://www.besttechie.net/tools/mbam-setup.exe]
    Then disconnect from Internet (just for your safety).
    Then temporarily disable your anti-virus, script blocking and/or any other anti-malware real-time protection (that's why I ask you to disconnect from Internet).
    Then try installing and running MBAM again (any real-time protection could have tried to stop MBAM installation; that's why it was turned off in previous step).
    Does it help?

  • My Malwarebytes anti-malware program keeps finding the following: FIREFOX_TSV4ADNAF.exe - do you know what is it?

    When I run the scanner in Malwarebytes anti-malware program it keeps finding the following: FIREFOX_TSV4ADNAF.exe
    Do you know if it is a part of the Firefox that I am using as a web browser or it is a real malware?

    Nope, Mozilla doesn't use a exe file by that name for anything in Firefox.
    My guess is that it is Malware or worse.

  • Isight not detected...message another program is using it

    I haven't been able to find a solution to my problem. After using my isight of my macbook for months suddenly it started to appear a message saying that a different program was using the isight. I already tried all the steps troubleshooting my isight without having good results. I read in some article that in system profiler (applications/ utilities) one could see if the isight was being detected by the computer. So now I have narrowed my problem. My isight is not being detected by my macbook. Some people say that is a problem related to quicktime. I really don't know. What I do know is that I miss my isight. If someone could help I would really appreciate any advice.
    Thank YOU

    NO, MY ISIGHT IS NOT DETECTED, BUT I DON'T KNOW WHY. I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IF SOMEONE COULD HELP SOLVE THIS PROBLEM. I'M USING LEOPARD. THANK YOU

  • I phone cable is not detecting on any of my laptop ports or on the external charger

    Hi,
    I bought my I phone 5 around 3 months back and it was perfect till it stopped charging and as a result the cable is not being detected on my laptop or the external charger... Any suggestions?

    Either the cable is bad and needs to be replaced, or there is a problem with the iPhone.
    Do you have access to another cable that is known good - used by a friend, family member, neighbor, or someone you work with to rule in or out a problem with the existing cable?
    If determined to be a problem with the existing cable, all package contents included with the iPhone are under the iPhone's one year warranty.

  • N9 not detected via USB connection

    Since last few months I have observed that my Nokia N9 is not detected via any PC if connected via USB cable. The USB cable is OK because my other devices are easily detected through same cable. Can anyone suggest solution. I have already try to "Clear device" under settings->Reset.
    Please help.

    @girishpadia
    Presumably your N9 still charges when connected to PC USB?
    Does this apply to both Nokia Suite and Mass Storage mode presupposing that Nokia Suite is installed upon PC?
