For the past couple of days I have been getting the following messages from AVG:
File: myonlinearcade.com/survey/c/94/index.php
Infection: Exploit Social engineering (type 1912)
Result: Object was blocked
Also on occasions when I start up my browser (Firefox 5.0) I will get a tab about being winner from wal-mart. I know this is a scam and immediately close the tab, however, it is annoying for this to happen nearly every time I get online.
Furthermore, I've noticed that my browser redirects to strange websites (ex: pubads.g.doubleclick.net) before actually going to my desired site. I have removed all cookies and this still happens.
Ad-Aware or AVG (I can't remember which) has also vaulted "setup.exe (4252)" and "setup.exe (1860)" and described these as "Trojan.Win32 Generic.pak:cobra"
Lastly, my browser and computer on occasion will spontaneously freeze and can only be revived after a hitting the reset button (ctrl+alt+del would NOT work). My computer has also slowed downed noticeably. All of the following problems have been going on for the past 3 days. Previously my computer was running like a charm. I have run a full scan with AVG (it took 24 hours) and it found nothing. Below is my log from hijackthis. I apologize in advance if I did not copy&paste the proper text. Below is the only text document that was created by hijackthis. Thank you so much!
