    Please download GooredFix from one of the locations below and save it to your Desktop
    http://jpshortstuff.247fixes.com/GooredFix.exe
    http://downloads.securitycadets.com/GooredFix.exe"
    • Ensure all Firefox windows are closed.
    • To run the tool, double-click it (XP), or right-click and select Run As Administrator (Vista and Windows7).
    • When prompted to run the scan, click Yes.
    • GooredFix will check for infections, and then a log will appear. Please post the contents of that log in your next reply (it can also be found on your desktop, called GooredFix.txt).

    What ever the site was that you clicked on, must have been infected with malware .... this is not a pop-up from SpywareBlaster.

    Did you click out of that pop-up?
    Was this from your Antivirus or a 'fake'/rogue antivirus message? It's really too blurry for me to tell.

    ok, I managed to watch video

    I think It was warning from user's legit Avast AV.
    It blocked trojan horse from the malicious site.

    Back in your first combo fix log, the url's pointed to hxxp - I'd reinstall 7, clean format.

    LimeWire, P2P sharing would be the most likely suspect for the problem you are encountering.
    I have to agree with Frostmourne

    The message was from a legit Avast! copy. You see, I visited that website and I visited the AVG website, I was redirected from both websites to different websites. However, when I closed Firefox and reopened it, the redirects from the two websites were gone and opened the actual websites so I don't think the websites were malicious (especially the AVG homepage) but the redirects were.

    BTW, I don't use Limewire, torrents or fo P2P sharing as I hate doing it.
