Did you just get pop-up ads from dvj.eggnogthrushdeemster.com? Did these pop-ups appear when browsing web sites that normally don’t show any pop-ups? Did the dvj.eggnogthrushdeemster.com pop-ups also managed to pass the pop-up killers that are built into Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer?

If so, I would say that the probability is high that you have some software installed on your machine that opens these pop-ups rather than that the pop-ups are initiated from the web site you were browsing. This type of software is often called adware. And adware was the reason I was getting the dvj.eggnogthrushdeemster.com pop-up ads. I’ll show how I removed the dvj.eggnogthrushdeemster.com pop-ups ads in this this blog post. Hopefully it will help you to stop the eggnogthrushdeemster.com ads too.

If you’ve been visiting this blog for the last two three weeks or so, you are aware of how I catch these pop-up ads. If not, just a short recap: I’ve deliberately installed some adware on a few of my lab machines. From time to time I check what kinds of advertising that the adware show on the machine. That’s how I found the eggnogthrushdeemster.com pop-up.

On the lab machine where I was getting the dvj.eggnogthrushdeemster.com pop-up, I had installed the Safer-Surf and SmartOnes adware. After removing these adwares with FreeFixer, the dvj.eggnogthrushdeemster.com pop-up ads stopped. So, if you got any of these, removing them might solve the pop-up problem. But unfortunately, it may not, and the reason for that is that I think the dvj.eggnogthrushdeemster.com pop-up ads are opened by other adware variants too.

Here’s my suggested removal procedure for the dvj.eggnogthrushdeemster.com pop-ups:

1. Open up the Uninstall Programs dialog from the Windows Control Panel. Do you see something suspicious there, that perhaps was installed about the same time as you started seeing the dvj.eggnogthrushdeemster.com pop-ups ads? Do you see something that you don’t remember installing. Look into these to figure out if they should be removed.
2. Check which add-ons you have installed in your browser. If you see something that you don’t remember that you installed, research it to see if it should be removed.
3. If that did not solve the problem, you can try FreeFixer. It’s a tool that I’ve been working on for many years now, designed to help users manually track down and remove unwanted software. It’s a freeware tool and its features are not crippled like many other anti-malware tools that required you to pay for the program just when you are about to remove some unwanted files or settings. If you find FreeFixer useful, please help me spread the word by letting your friends know about it.

Tip: If you are having problems to determine if a file in FreeFixer’s scan result is safe or if it should be removed, please test the More Info link to find out more about the file. The information page that is opened up in your web browser when clicking the link contains a VirusTotal report for the file, which can be very useful:

Hope you found this useful.
