Thanks for the advise. This pop-up is the worst! I hope I never see it again!
You force people to suffer this ad. Do you think that an unrelenting poke
with this pop-up stick would entice or force me to follow your links and make
you money??? I've hated it like poison. I WILL NOT USE MSNBC AGAIN!

I just install W Defender and no problem shows up.
I executed Karpesky I Security and no problem shows up.
I executed Vipre Internet Security and nothing was detected.
Looks to me that this pop-up is hiding as part of Windows OS.

It certainly behave like a trojan. In fact, when my computer got screw, IE
stop working compleatly and my network settings showed continious downloading
of info from my coputer.
Looks to me that Pulse360 is associated with msnbc, which is my default page.
MSNBC should be aware.

Thank you, FireorIce. Pulse360 is the most difficult to remove. Our
corporate site blocker will not allow us to go to the pulse360 web site to
opt-out. Also, when you opt-out, it only lasts for awhile. Nice form reply
from Pulse360. Why does MSNBC do business with one of the worst offenders in
pop-up ads?

I see where "train wreck" suits you... Have you ever seen pulse 360.com, do
you know what it is you are talking about? there IS NO TOLLS on a pop-up
page and therefore no way to follow your "simple" instructions. People come
here because they need to know. If you don't know, please, don't comment.

Pulse 360 ads are showing up in the place of other banners. I know they are because I notice them on websites I did myself. They replace custom banners I designed myself as well as some affiliate banners. Is this a problem with my PC or does everyone see these unflattering ads?

[onthespot]

This threat appeared on my homepage. I'm sure it got installed when I installed a copy and paste video downloader program called vgrabber. After running test, it is ! The utilities i have did not delete it. I found downloaded a removal softwear (microsoft safety scanner) It removed pulse 360 but left a large blank space on ie 9. Still very anorying. What luck! A program called Spibot Search and Destoy .(after many tries with other softwear) After a scan and Fix everything went back to normal. As if it never existed. Watch out, It installed by downloading a safe program without any warning. This vGrabber might not be the only one that it hides inside. I have Windows 7, IE9 and running on Samsung PC 64bit. I hope this works with you. When it does spead the word to others. Good Luck!
