Boris Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 That ad shown in BB Right Click 2.pdf - "No more bandwidth hogs" - looks to me as if johnoo has been hijacked in some way ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS What does Boris mean by "Hijack" as AVG/Malwarebytes pick nothing up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 By hijack, I mean that I don't get any ads like that at all - neither here, nor on the original page you posted. Do you have any "strange" toolbars installed ? Lenovo pre-install trial versions of Nitro Pro 7 + Sugar Sync - they can be safely uninstalled (unless you intend to pay for/use them.

Boris Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 Start by again saying thanks to all for the efforts put in to help solve my problem Think I have cleared it by uninstalling "Think Vantage Password manager" that comes with Lenovo machines Also as Boris has suggested it I have uninstalled Nitro Pro 7 & Sugar Sync manager I usually make use of PC Decrapifier to get rid of all the pre-installed crud and trial versions before setting up PCs/laptops for people. If you do it "straight out of the box", you always have a fall back because the Recovery Partition will install it afresh for you if you have a bad day and press the delete button for something you actually wanted :) Diagnosing problems like johnoo had are always easier if you have the actual machine to play with - attempts at "remote" analysis as we do here can be very time consuming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnoo Posted March 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Agree its more of a problem if you have not got the machine, but you led me to the solution.Great stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
