    Hi! Do you know something about Ad.yieldmanager.com? This is a page that is displayed on my desktop every time I try to open some link in my browser. It is really annoying and I want to stop these redirects, but I cannot. I will appreciate it if you can help me with this.

    Hi,

    Can you review the Prework link in my signature and post back with the 3 resulting logs?

    Am, I did the following. First I found some screenshots on the net and there were some explanations. It turned out that my PC is infected. I had to follow some removal instructions,like these here http://www.americanpendulum.com/2012/03/13/remove-ad-yieldmanager-com/, but there was also an option to download AV and scan my PC with it. I downloaded Malwarebytes and it detected some virus. Then i removed the virus, I think everything is fine now.
    I only wonder why my AV has not warned me about the infection, but maybe it has expired or something.
