Post #1
Hello out there. I am a fairly good computer user and can navigate through issues with instruction, so I am trying get some help beyond the basics of running my spyware and anti-virus programs. They haven't seemed to solve this issue yet. My wife accientally clicked on a Visa logo link that popped up in the middle of a text file in MS Word two days ago. I informed her never to do that again but the damage was done, I believe. In Internet Explorer, I notice as it loads, that it waits for this ad.yield manager to load. Once that comes in. yahoo mail freezes. I reset defaults in IE, but no solution. Mozilla seems to work fine. I am posting a HijackThis log and I installed ERUNT. I hope I have taken the steps necessary to get help. Thanks.
