I'm just going to copy a thread I wrote in another section since I was told to put it here.

Hello. I have a rather annoying problem that I could really use some help with.

So, my main computer(using a laptop right now) is having troubles on some websites. On Facebook and forums(maybe other sites I haven't discovered yet) it logs me out every time I change a page. This makes it impossible to do anything on those websites.

Yahoo Answers doesn't seem to do this, though. It works fine there.

And, strangely, this is also happening on my iTouch.

I was told it was a virus, but I doubt it because I'm not sure if multi-platform viruses even exist. Anyways, set my computer to start with last known good configuration and I ran Avast, AVG Antivirus, Malwarebytes, and 1 other anti-virus program and, even though they did find some stuff and removed it, the problem persists.
All scans were thorough through every file on the computer, and I even scanned twice with each program. The second scans showed absolutely nothing on my computer.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that this happens in Google Chrome and Internet Explorer.
Also, now my iTouch will not play Youtube videos, if that has anything to do with this problem.

So, could anybody please help me? It would be very much appreciated. Thank you!

The first thing I will need you to do is to go to this link and follow the directions precisely. We will need the SAS, MBAM and HJT logs.

Hello stewie-y  and welcome to Computer Hope Forum. My name is Superdave but you can just call me SD. I'm sorry for being so late in replying to you. I will be helping you out with your particular problem on your computer. I am working under the guidance of one of the specialist of this forum so it may take a bit longer to process your logs.

1. I will be working on your Malware issues. This may or may not solve other issues you have with your machine.
2. The fixes are specific to your problem and should only be used for this issue on this machine.
3. If you don't know or understand something, please don't hesitate to ask.
4. Please DO NOT run any other tools or scans while I am helping you.
5. It is important that you reply to this thread. Do not start a new topic.
6. Your security programs may give warnings for some of the tools I will ask you to use. Be assured, any links I give are safe.
7. Absence of symptoms does not mean that everything is clear.

it logs me out every time I change a page
Could you please explain this statement?

Download Disable/Remove Windows Messenger to the desktop to remove Windows Messenger.

Do not confuse Windows Messenger with MSN Messenger because they are not the same. Windows Messenger is a frequent cause of popups.

Unzip the file on the desktop. Open the MessengerDisable.exe and choose the bottom box - Uninstall Windows Messenger and click Apply.

Exit out of MessengerDisable then delete the two files that were put on the desktop.

Add or Remove Programs

1. Click on the Windows Start button and click on the Control Panel
2. In the Control Panel window, double-click Add or Remove Programs icon.
3. When the Add or Remove Programs window has fully populated, check for Ask.com and uninstall it.

I noticed in your HJT log that you are running a P2P file-sharing program (uTorrent) on your computer. While the program itself is probably safe, the files you download with this program is a major source of infections. Therefore, I strongly urge you to uninstall it.

Open HijackThis and select Do a system scan only

Place a check mark next to the following entries: (if there)

O2 - BHO: Ask Toolbar BHO - {D4027C7F-154A-4066-A1AD-4243D8127440} - C:\Program Files\Ask.com\GenericAskToolbar.dll

O9 - Extra 'Tools' menuitem: Windows Messenger - {FB5F1910-F110-11d2-BB9E-00C04F795683} - C:\Program Files\Messenger\msmsgs.exe


Important: Close all open windows except for HijackThis and then click Fix checked.

Once completed, exit HijackThis.

Download ComboFix by sUBs from one of the below links.  Be sure to save it to the Desktop.

link # 1
link #2

Close any open web browsers (Firefox, Internet Explorer, etc) before starting ComboFix.

Temporarily disable your anti-virus, and any anti-spyware real-time protection before performing a scan. Click this link to see a list of security programs that should be disabled and how to disable them.

Vista users Right-click combofix.exe and select Run as Administrator and follow the prompts.
Double-click combofix.exe and follow the prompts.
When finished, ComboFix will produce a log for you.
Post the ComboFix log and a new HijackThis log in your next reply.

NOTE: Do not mouseclick ComboFix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.

Remember to re-enable your anti-virus and anti-spyware protection when ComboFix is complete.
Windows 8 and Windows 10 dual boot with two SSD's

Thank you for your help, SuperDave.

What I mean by "It logs me out every time I change a page" is that, on some sites, I will log in. Then, after I log in, when I click a link to navigate through the website, on arrival of the next page I will not be logged in anymore. Or, like Facebook, when I log in it automatically loads a new page that prompts me to log in again.

And, in HijackThis, none of those options were there so I did not have to do anything.

Here are the logs:

What I mean by "It logs me out every time I change a page" is that, on some sites, I will log in. Then, after I log in, when I click a link to navigate through the website, on arrival of the next page I will not be logged in anymore. Or, like Facebook, when I log in it automatically loads a new page that prompts me to log in again.
I'm almost positive that this problem is not related to Malware. Let's try one more scan.

Ok. If there are no other issues, it's time for some clean-up. You can uninstall HJT but you can keep SAS and MBAM. Update them and run them about once a week.

Clean out your temporary internet files and temp files.

Download TFC by OldTimer to your desktop.

Double-click TFC.exe to run it.

Note: If you are running on Vista, right-click on the file and choose Run As Administrator

TFC will close all programs when run, so make sure you have saved all your work before you begin.

* Click the Start button to begin the cleaning process.
* Depending on how often you clean temp files, execution time should be anywhere from a few seconds to a minute or two.
* Please let TFC run uninterrupted until it is finished.

Once TFC is finished it should restart your computer. If it does not, please manually restart the computer yourself to ensure a complete cleaning.

* Click START then RUN - Vista users press the Windows Key and the R keys for the Run box.
* Now type Combofix /uninstall in the runbox
* Make sure there's a space between Combofix and /Uninstall
* Then hit Enter

* The above procedure will:
* Delete the following:
* ComboFix and its associated files and folders.
* Reset the clock settings.
* Hide file extensions, if required.
* Hide System/Hidden files, if required.
* Set a new, clean Restore Point.

Looking over your log it seems you don't have any evidence of a third party firewall.

Firewalls protect against hackers and malicious intruders. You need to download a free firewall from one of these reliable vendors.

Remember only install ONE firewall

1) Comodo Personal Firewall (Uncheck during installation "Install Comodo SafeSurf..", Make Comodo my default search provider" and "Make Comodo Search my homepage" and uncheck any HopSurf and/or Ask.com options if you choose this one)
2) Online Armor
3) Agnitum Outpost
4) PC Tools Firewall Plus

If you are using the built-in Windows XP firewall, it is not recommended as it does not block outgoing connections. This means that any malware on your computer is free to "phone home" for more instructions. Simply put, Windows XP contains a mediocre firewall. This firewall is NO replacement for a dedicated software solution. Remember to use only one firewall at the same time.

Use the Secunia Software Inspector to check for out of date software.

•Click Start Now

•Check the box next to Enable thorough system inspection.

•Click Start

•Allow the scan to finish and scroll down to see if any updates are needed.
•Update anything listed.

Okay, thank you.

But, do you have any clue what the problem could be since it's not malware related?

Hi Stewie. I spend all of my time training on malware issues so I don't know much about the hardware and software side of the computer. Perhaps you could start a new thread on this site and someone more qualified that I could help you.
