A program from FiuneDeaalSuoft somehow appeared in my Firefox Add-0ns as of 2 days ago (08212014) according to Control Panel-Programs. I don't recognize it, but possibly I mistakenly clicked on an acceptance interface without realizing it. The ad re-directs which it caused were onerous and invasive. The re-directs first started appearing when I received a message advising me to update some other programs. I have a list of most of them. It seemed to start I went onto a Windows web page, for Windows Live Movie Maker, < http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-live/movie-maker-file-types-faq?wlexpid=FC1B09C67C184525852C59C15A0F465E > which had 3 block ads at the top from FiuneDeaalSuoft. The links for those three ads were: < Microsoft.iYogi.com > phone 855-558-2498, < Microsoft-Windows.iYogi.com > phone 855-558-2498, and < Microsoft-Support.pchelpdesk.co > with no phone showing in my screenshot of the ad but it is probably the same as given later herein, 855-677-5531. I removed the FiuneDeaalSuoft program from Add-ons, but I still seem to be getting some pop-ups and re-directs. Looking in Control Panel, I see that the program name is slightly different: FuineDealSOfti from FineDealSofT. This program was extremely aggressive and persistent. In Control Panel, I see other programs which I am also concerned about. IDT Audio from IDT has been on my computer a while, but I can't remember much about it. Pinger from Pinger, Inc. shows that it was installed in Dec. 2013 before I bought the computer. WidgetServ 1.0 from Softomate, LLC. is through Firefox. WinSpeed from 24soft installed in April 2014 is another program which I don't know much about. Can anyone offer further analysis and review or comment of any of these programs, please, with advice as to whether you have found them useful or problematic? The software from FiuneDeaalSuoft will be uninstalled from Control Panel since I am convinced that it is very invasive and a lot of trouble. An Install Manager from dwnllistsoft.com was part of the pathway. It wanted to re-direct to < http://uhi.inureknittingrectrix.com >, which had code sections referring to < plh.tractionize.com >; < WhiteLabelBidRequestHandlerServlet >; < www.srv2trking.com >; < LTSanitizer.aspx >; and < www.ascentive.com >. The original message seemed to be one which advised that "Video Update Recommended". Another had the Firefox logo and advised that "You are currently browsing the web with Firefox and your Video Player might be outdated". The webpage address was: < http://www.lpmxp2129.com /7655407A3F26415F243E342D4D472B54AE35515F1068A175E1CFD6181CD0B859E09383E5EAA7EDFE90932B3B86A7E9D8?tgu_src_lp_domain= www.dnwyoursoft.com&ClickID=426139843&PubID=1258 > (which could have a small editing error). A smaller front screen appeared as an overlay which said "Recommended" and then " You are currently browsing the web with Firefox and it is recommended that you update your video player to the fastest version available. Please update to continue." Some other urls which appeared were: < http://www.srv2trking.com/LTSanitizer.aspx?u=http%3a%2f%2fwww.ascentive.com%2frun%2fclick%2fSEC_CPA%2fgo%2fFFTV%3fc1%3d08_107761803_ed31ad73-fc16-40f5-9cad-cccc044ea1f4 %26c2%3da-0-2464-2418-27346-0-223-0_177593 >; < https://interyield.jmp9.com/InterYield/optout.do >; < http://download1181bucket.com/go/windowsupdate?_alc=1&_cb=1&_ep=1&_sd=1&adprovider=advertisecom&source=advertisecom_driverupdater-us-dt-ron6& subid=66385-1017_1008_us&subid2=interyield+jmp9&servpixel=1408768365016_1408768324035_109_469_5987611_1 > which offered a Windows 8 update with a small front screen overlay message saying "WARNING! Please Install Update To Continue." while the main screen had a message that it was a "Windows 8 Update" with the admonition that "You are currently using - Windows 8 - which is now outdated... Please install the latest update to enhance your computer's security and performance." (part of the window screen capture was missing the full text, so I had to guess part of the message); (NOTE that the previous entry may have a disconnect between the url and actual screen, since i could not reproduce the result); < http://pmptrk.com/t/o/12/ > was another redirect; < http://updatingdriversnow.com/ujp1/?source=MG_EBT-RED&kw=ubid > another which offered a Java Update (13?) which had a front screen "Java Recommended" and "It is recommended to have Java in order to proceed."; checking on a contact link for the Video Update, < http://www.lpmxp2129.com/eQBQL8o9/videoupdater/contact.html > was the url; < http://pcupgradenow.com/su/en/4/a9551d18bc46aa01436d6fbb3caf46adc84f910f073379322921d15717c8caa4:1408769323/?a=anothervars&b=39500638&sid=ADV-sft-555&filename=Software_Update&uid=1408769323444_1408768975263_125_415_5966399_1 > appeared with a front screen overlay message saying "UPDATES RECOMMENDED! It is recommended that you install the software to ensure your browser is the latest version. Please update to continue."; the previous link had "Transferring data from static.getclicky.com" in the bottom left corner of the screen; another screen with url < http://pckeeperapp.zeobit.com/land/7.13/index.php?affid=mzb_196.8233409.1408767556.2.mzb&utm_source=ldmpcts&utm_medium=popunder&utm_campaign=pck_ldmpcts_15aug_ff&utm_term=&utm_content=&userDefiner=mzb_2380&installer=&trt=33_22526071&alert=301&tid_ext=antivirus > was very realistic (and for all I know is legitimate), showing a logo for PCKeeper, a front screen block titled "Important Message" with "Your PC Performance is Poor." and a "Fix Now" selector button; the main screen of the previous url had the overhead title of "How to Fix The Windows 8.1 error" which is somewhat peculiar since "The" is capitalized while "error" is not; also the previous screen had 1. a picture of an attractive smiling young man with a reference book titled "Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist", 2. several links for various PCKeeper options, and 3. at the bottom, block ads for AAA and alleged referrals from "The Wall Street Journal", "MAXIMUMPC", and "Business Wire" and 4. a warning that "You may be presented with an optional offer(s) during INSTALLATION" which was the link followed another link for "learn more"; < http://pchelpdesk.co/cp/support-for-microsoft.php?affiliate=63783-86_777 > was a web page for pchelpdesk.co which gave a phone number of 855-677-5531 for "Instant Tech Support for Microsoft r-copyright Products by Expert Technician"; < http://techieschoice.com/l2/support-for-microsoft.php > gave a phone number 855-677-9945 with another convincing webpage which even had several testimonials; < http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-live/movie-maker-file-types-faq?wlexpid=FC1B09C67C184525852C59C15A0F465E > was one of the original webpages from which this detour first began with a header of "What kind of files can I use in Movie Maker?"; < http://aff2click.com/?a=939&c=8108&s1=14714782&s2=w.ascentive > which I do not have a screenshot for; < http://apps4u.pw/v14/?entry=&exit=&i=eyJ0IjoxNDA4NzcwOTQ1Mjk5MTU4MzA4LCJjIjoiNTM4ZWQzZGNiYjMyMTM2ZDE3YzI3ZWUwIiwidSI6IjA5MzQ4ZWM2 IiwiZSI6MC4wMjEsIjEiOiJ2MTQtQ29udHJvbCJ9&url=gt.penga.info > had the header "Recommended Download!" followed by "You are currently browsing on Chrome 35" and "Please Install the RECOMMENDED SOFTWARE -< which was the link > to Confirm You are Using the Recommended Version." along with other embedded links, options and disclaimers; < http://landing.driverrestore.com/ldimp/02/en/?brand=Windows&subid=US|EN|windows*download > for which I have no screenshot; < http://lp.get-soft.com/mpc____________/?o=42&campid=14403&creaid=6104&reqid=571734621 > with no screenshot; < http://trk8.com/base.php?c=109&key=5555c230910ebedab5128d543147c7c6&keyword=.ascentive.co > with no screenshot; and < http://downloadjust4u.com/download/firefox3/ > with no screenshot. I may have missed a couple or so urls, especially the intermediate transition urls, since they tended to change very quickly. Any of my screenshots are freely available if they can offer any further value. Since you probably have too many emails and too few volunteers, I don't expect that anyone has time to send me a personal individual response, but a universal message or warning (if appropriate) to all users would be great. I am still uncertain if I am making this a bigger deal than it actually is. Thanks to everyone at Firefox. It has been my favorite browser for a few years now. James
