mylant.com pop up??

I have this mylant.com pop up on my Firefox browser. I have cleaned my cache and cookies and what not and it is not in my add ons. Anyone have any dealings with this POS? Any reccomendations or any malware removers?

Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

It's actually not any known Mac malware. It may be some kind of adware, although it's not a site I've heard of being associated with any of the adware I'm familiar with. It could also be a network issue or a hacked router. See:


Eliminating browser redirects and advertisements


The difference between malware and adware is subtle, and sometimes adware crosses the line. Adware is typically just designed to shove ads in your face, but doesn't actually do truly malicious things like steal your data or give remote access to your system.
