Malwarebytes Alerts Re: Puzztake in Edge
Draclvr replied to Draclvr's topic in Resolved Malware Removal Logs
I will run the clean-up. I've been using RoboForm Password Manager for many years and use Carbonite for backup. I also do an image every couple of months. This build does have a motherboard that supports TPM 2.0, but I haven't enabled it yet. Still kind of pissed at MS for this, so haven't upgraded to Windows 11. It's a good thing for everyone else, but I have several elderly people I keep their computers up for them and all they do is email, solitaire and some web browsing... they would have to get a new computer. Will definitely install the Browser Guard for Edge. I am tech support for an adventure gaming website and my mantra is that the best protection against malware is the person sitting behind the keyboard. Thanks again! -

I think that's what I will do. This is not a huge deal with an infection, it's just annoying In the process of exploring this, several issues have been found and resolved. I hadn't done a dskchk in some time, so glad that got done. Thank you for your help and I will mark this as resolved. -

Sorry, stayed up WAY too late playing Witcher 3 last night. Here is the ESET scan. ESET.txt -

I rebooted and tried to run ESET again. This time it got as far as asking if it should quarantine files... So, I will run it tonight. -

Well, this is interesting. I cannot run the ESET scan. The application launches and I am able to get to the screen that says "full scan" and then it closes. I tried running as Administrator with the same results. I also deleted and redownloaded with the same results. Is the .exe the culprit here? -

Thank you. I stream some television on my computer in the evenings. If the ads are particularly annoying, I will open a new tab in Edge which is some kind of Microsoft Start page with news links and will browse some of them during the commercials. This is when I started getting the puzztake popups again last night. It's easy enough for me to NOT open up a new tab or open it to something else. Since I didn't have any of the puzztake popups for a couple of days after running the FRSTEnglish program, I'm thinking I should run it again followed by the ESET scan and then avoid that MS Start page from now on?? -

I am unable to post that I got several puzztake notifications last night and where I think they are coming from. I get a "you are using spam" popup. -

The other scan did run nicely. I'll give it a few days, but I haven't seen the "compromised" notification for a couple of days. Since ESET will take awhile, I will probably do that overnight. I do coding and site support for a couple of websites and won't be able to have my computer unavailable for that long. -

Here you go. I forgot to uninstall CCleaner, but will do that now. I'd forgotten I even had it on this drive. I build my own computers and this one has another HDD in it. Thank you for your assistance. Fixlog.txt -

My apologies for not running the downloaded file. I've been dealing with several family issues. I hope to do this over the weekend. Thanks for your patience! -

Thank you for the quick response. Zip file attached. mbst-grab-results.zip -
I am getting multiple alerts every day about an "outgoing compromised" domain h142njblb.puzztake.com located in msedge.exe. I did a search here and found something similar for Chrome, but no real resolution. Any suggestions for getting rid of this? I am unable to find anything in multiple searches.

All, right, I uninstalled MWB and had no BSOD's related to the Nvidia driver issue for 2 days. Then I reinstalled MWB, but disabled all 4 of the protection modules. After 24 hours, I started enabling the MWB protection modules one at a time and then observing for 12 - 24 hours. No problems with Ransomware, Malware and Exploit protection. But as soon as I enabled the Web Protection module I had a BSOD within an hour. Same Bad Pool Header etc. I just read the post above mine where he found a conflict with a USB WiFi adapter. I ordered an internal WiFi card and I'm going to install that tomorrow and see what happens. If I can enable the Web Protection module and the BSOD's stop, I think we can blame it on a conflict with the WiFi adapter drivers. If that turns out to be the case, it should probably still be reported to MWB as there are a lot of people who use these USB WiFi adapters. I'll keep you posted.
