10,000 visitor

[George-NY]

Hi All,
Almost all the web sites I go to a window popups saying "You are the 10000
visitor. Click here."
Is everyone getting these annoying popups or is it something on my computer
causing this?
Any help is appreciated.

If you're getting this pop-up on every site you go to, even sites that
wouldn't typically do so (like CNN.com or something), then you've been
infected with malware.

Try downloading Malwarebytes Anti-Malware
(http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php). Grab the free trial (the free
version is a "run it when you need it" app, whereas the paid version is
something that can monitor your PC at all times). Install that and run the
Quick Scan and remove what it finds.

Do you have popup blocker turned on? I.E. ---tools---popup

MALWARE. Run a virus scan. Make sure your antivirus is up to date and the
virus definitions are current.

Run a full scan right away.

I am only the 9,999th visitor. Damn

There is a very good chance that you are seeing the affects of a hijackware
infection.

1. See if you can download/run the MSRT manually:

NB: Run the FULL scan, not the QUICK scan!

2. WinXP ONLY!! => Run the Windows Live Safety Center's 'Protection' scan
(only!) in Safe Mode with Networking, if need be:

3. Run a /thorough/ check for hijackware, including posting the requested
logs in an appropriate forum, not here.

If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this
isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, reputable and
independent (i.e., not BigBoxStoreUSA) computer repair shop.
