I have occasionally seen this kind of display at the top of my browser, some chinese looking text that floats above the tabs, but can't be "touched" by my mouse pointer.

Any ideas what the fuck is going on here?

That's the most likely answer, maybe even the Daily Double.

The question remains, *what* malware is it and how do I get out from under it?

Correction IM, don't get MalwareBytes from Cnet, they do their own browser hijacking. Get it from ninite.com

I love ninite

infinite monkey 01-09-2015 01:11 PM

OH, I didn't know that. I always thought CNET was on the up and up.

Sorry.

What does CNET actually do, or what is it that CNET does that ninite does not?

cnet usually bundles some shit you don't want with what you are actually after. ninite specifically does NOT do that. plus, you can get several things at once, and the updates are just a matter of re-running the instal file.

highly recommended.

CNET used to be good. But then their evil twin showed up and duct taped their mouth shut and threw them in the back of a van so they could take over. Now they load you up with malware.

It's sad, really.

Well I learned something new today. Thanks!

Why not go directly to Malwarebytes, he's a really nice guy.
