With all the different programs I have run to either reset or clean my computer, I am left with the following common denominators:
Comcast
Windows XP
Microsoft Security Essentials
Malwarebytes Pro
Mozilla Firefox
TOTV

for each attack or attempt.

I did get the Glary program and it did find several "things" to be fixed. It is now part of my arsenal to run periodically.

I run Windows 7 so take Windows XP out of your mix. If fact the only common denominators for me are Comcast and TOTV. And I doubt if Comcast is the culprit as I would have attacks from all of the other sites I go to.

I am happy I am running Norton NIS to stop the attacks from damaging my PC.
