    Hi all, first post, Lately for some reason on my laptop I have been getting a mini pop up on the bottom left of my scree and it is a little bit annoying and slightly worrying, does any body know if this is harmful or just something annoying?

    Please see the attached picture of a screen grab.

    Kindest regards,
    John

    download malwarebytes after you run combofix and run a full scan after an update
    When all thats done run a windows update and install all the fixes

    You don't need to run combofix for ilivid, its serious over-kill

    If the thing is still popping up then do this


    Download OTL to your Desktop
    • Double click on the icon to run it. Make sure all other windows are closed and to let it run uninterrupted.
    • Click the Quick Scan button. Do not change any settings. The scan wont take long.
    • When the scan completes, it will open two notepad windows. OTL.Txt and Extras.Txt. These are saved in the same location as OTL.
    • Please copy (Edit->Select All, Edit->Copy) the contents of these files here


    also post the mbam log if you have it
