Software Updater Malware Keeps Popping Up

[lurkyloo]

What's being done (or can be done by me) about all this Softwareupdaterlp.com malware that keeps taking over my Disboards browser windows in Firefox and Chrome? I have to keep closing out and restarting the browser every three clicks or so...

For me too, with I.E. never happened before, but got so frustrated I shut down my laptop to type this on my kindle fire.

It was happening to me in explorer yesterday too. I was sure it was some type of malware or virus, so I just got off the disboards for the rest of the day. I ran a full scan on my computer to be safe, and it did not pick up anything. So far, I have not had any issues with it popping up today.

Okay- not 3 minutes after my last post it happened. It took the whole computer screen to white except for its box where it tried to "update my browser".

I got it on Firefox.

Do you have a good ad blocker installed? I have AdBlockPlus and have not seen any of the things that are being complained about regarding pop-ups, inbox updates, etc.

I do now.
