Hi. I am writing for help with removing the above malware or whatever it is. I am currently still using Vista and primarily use Firefox browser, with Chrome as a backup when FF gets glitchy. Anyway, I used my computer (Dell Inspiron Laptom) at about 7 am and things seemed fine, logged on to a website and everything was working. Then around 8:30 or so, I tried to log on to another website and noticed auto-fill-in wasn't working and long story, short, I couldn't get the menu in the top right corner to open. Through tools I found that all my extensions and add-ons seemed to be missing. I also wasn't able to bookmark a webpage. I did a virus scan with Malwarebytes and that found nothing.I think did a scan with Superantispyware trial edition and it found the following: Backdoor Poison Variant - 5 items; Adware Tracking Cookie, 1013 items. I had closed all browsers while doing the second scan and when I reopened FF, it is now working again - I can now open the menu, extensions and add-ons are back, auto-fill-in is back, everything seems to be working again. I am of course concerned about this scan finding of the Backdoor Poison Variant.
The only thing I can think of that may have put it on my computer is an email from several days ago. I received something from an insurance agent who has been calling and emailing me over the past few weeks. I do believe she's for real but still, when I tried to reply to her email, my cursor starting doing really odd things, blinking really fast and bouncing around. I closed the whole thing out and did two scans at the time that found nothing but I'm wondering now it that may have put something on my computer. Anyway, my question is how do I get this off my computer. I'd be grateful for any help anyone can give me.
Thanks.
