Default Media.match.com window keeps popping up...

...it keeps popping up in a full screen IE window. Anytime I walk away from pc for a while and come back its there, and I'm only ever using firefox. I haven't ever visited that site ever either. Obviously some kind of intrusion, but I ran malware bytes anti-malware and deleted anything that it found, but still happening. Anyone know anything bout this? Thanks

Yeah, already went through add/remove and nothing in there that's obvious.

They recommend Spyhunter (which I downloaded and scanned) because they get a kickback of some kind. Spyhunter scans for free, but cost's $50 to remove anything!

Kinda hoping to do something on the cheap here. Thanks for suggestion anyway.

Did you check the registry stuff? Spyhunter will just do those things for you, but you can follow those steps manually.

Yeah I'm picking away at it manually, but there's tons of stuff to go through. Also, not real sure if I should be deleting some of it.

After running whatever malware stuff you prefer, your should also reset IE.

Try a nod32 trial? Delete all cookies?

I've also on occasion looked up processes in task manager when that window is open and manually searched my computer for a file that looks odd and delete the file/folder it is in, but this might be more risky if you're in program files etc.
