My latest malware, adware scans...

[farmerjohn1324]

How do I read OTL scans? That program doesn't plainly tell you "nothing found" or "1 object detected" like other programs do.

That's why people like John interpret them.

You go through training/malware boot camp to interpret those logs.

Try disabling the option to tap to click and see if that helps.

Where do I get to that option?

 

[johnb35]

Mouse properties in control panel.

I don't see "Mouse Properties," I see this....

Switch from Category to Large Icons and you'll see it.

What does this tell you?

My current symptoms, even after running these removal tools are that I will be browsing a site, such as HomeDepot.com and a popup will say I have adware (this is after running AdWCleaner).

I deleted FireFox and now use only Internet Explorer. What browser do the pros use and why?

Why would you ever use explorer it is no doubt the slowest most annoying browser out there
