Kevin Zoll 309 Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Do the following: Download AdwCleaner and save it on your desktop. Close all open programs and Internet browsers (you may want to print our or write down these instructions first). Double click on adwcleaner.exe to run the tool. Click on the Scan button. After the scan has finished, click on the Clean button. Confirm each time with OK. You will be prompted to restart your computer. A text file will open in Notepad after the restart (this is the log of what was removed), which you can save on your desktop. Attach that log file to your reply by clicking the More Reply Options button to the lower-right of where you type in your reply. If you lose that log file for any reason, you can find it at C:\AdwCleaner on your computer. Download Junkware Removal Tool and save it on your desktop.Shut down your anti-virus, anti-spyware, and firewall software now to avoid potential conflicts. Run the tool by double-clicking it. If you are using Windows Vista or Windows 7, right-click it and select Run as administrator. The tool will open and start scanning your system. Please be patient as this can take a while to complete depending on your system's specifications. On completion, a log is saved to your desktop and will automatically open. Attach the JRT log file to a reply by clicking the More Reply Options button to the lower-right of where you type in your reply.

Double-click RogueKiller.exe to run the tool (Vista or 7 users: Right-click and select Run As Administrator). Once the Prescan has finished, click Scan. Once the Status box shows "Scan Finished", just close the program. <--Don't fix anything! Attach the RogueKiller report to your next reply. The log can also be found on your desktop labeled (RKreport[X]_S_xxdatexx_xtimex) The highest number of [X], is the most recent Scan Link to post Share on other sites

LUPike 0 Posted January 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 Thanks Kevin, I re-ran RogueKiller and selected and deleted the items you had listed above. The log is attached. Once that process completed, I rebooted the PC and attempted to load several webpages using both Chrome and Internet Explorer. Neither experienced any unusual pop-ups, redirects, nor ad insertions. I will watch it for the next few days and report any issues... but i think that took care of it. Thanks again. -Ronnie RKreport_DEL_01272015_180906.log Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Zoll 309 Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 Good to hear that it killed the popups, but the malware is still on the system, though it is no longer active. Let's take a fresh look. Run fresh scans with Emsisoft Emergency Kit (EEK) and FRST, attach the new EEK and FRST scans to your reply. Link to post Share on other sites
