Annoying Fill-in Box Pop-up

For the past few months, I have been seeing a pop-up every time a website has a fill-in box (e.g. hotel or travel booking sites).  It always appears immediately below the actual site fill in box as soon as I type the first letter.  The fake pop-up box has a red x, a radio button for "site search" and a radio button for "web search".  Immediately above the radio buttons is advertisting for a dating site or something else.

 

I thought Norton Internet Security was supposed to block adware and spyware.  I'm going to try running some other adware software to see if I can get rid of whatever is causing this annoying pop-up.

Hi Skyguy,

 

In case you missed it, there are Removal Forums provided for you because of the Trogan infections you listed in your other thread. Click Here to go to that post.

 

As Dick mentioned, there are Free scanners you can use for a second opinion scan of your system. One that is highly recommended is Malwarebytes Free Scanner. Be sure and download the Free version and deny the trial offer.
