  • I keep getting a google-analytics popup, what the ghey

So, as I browse websites and click links and stuff, I keep getting a popup in a new window, with a url of search.google-analytics.com ... and then it usually redirects to google.com

I use Firefox 3.5, but tried other browsers and I get the same thing. So I figure it must be a nasty that I picked up somewhere. I scanned with MalwareBytes, and Avast, and no threats found. What the gay?!

It's freaking annoying.....any ideas?

1. check your addons for firefox
2. boot up in safe mode and run MalwareBytes
3. if neither one work try googling search.googleanalytics.com and see what you can find

Also if you recently installed anything, try uninstalling it, and physically remove the folder afterwards. Reboot, and see if its gone (probably sounds psychotic, but that's how I got rid of a trojan)

It's not Firefox because it happens in other browsers...

I've searched several times for google-analytics popups, and everyone just says "oh that's probably malware"...very helpful.

No I haven't tried safe mode, but I know I haven't installed anything recently that would do this.

Start>run...>msconfig>boot.ini tab>/SAFEBOOT checkbox>restart.

Screen is gonna be like 800x600, but you can get done what you want. When you're done, on the general tab of msconfig click the normal startup button.

If it still finds nothing then I dont know, thats as far as my tech help goes
