    Adware refuses to go away

    in Resolved Malware Removal Logs

    Posted

    Alright it's been a few days and I don't appear to be getting any popups. I also read some reviews in addition to the links you shared and yeah, a lot of people are talking about adware coming from the Twitter Photo Zoom extension. So I'd say it's a safe bet that everything was caused by that.

    Thank you very much for the help.

    I remember installing all of those except the last Twitter one. Quest, I installed a couple years ago and all it is is a text adventure thing, Fun Switcher I forgot what that is, don't know why I installed it but I'll uninstall because it looks dumb, Realm of the Mad God is just a game that's also on Steam, Photo Zoom for Twitter just enlarges photos on Twitter by hovering the mouse over it, The Weather Channel is just The Weather Channel, Social Fixer I use.

    Which one is coming up as a PUP? If it just so happens to be that twitter.com one then yeah, that's extremely suspicious because I don't know what it is.

    EDIT: Also I think I just found something that I don't remember installing, it was called "Click&Clean App." I just now deleted it, but yeah, I don't exactly remember getting that.

    It took about 6 hours but I'm still getting them even having installed that extension. The same ones from before, plus more:

    nan . mashfsttest . com

    lsi . fightostler . com

    There's also a thing at the bottom right of some pages that says "Interstitial Information?" that starts appearing everytime the virus starts coming up.

    I'll try it out and let you know soon after if this worked. I stopped getting the ads for a couple days but they came back yesterday, so I'm gonna install that extension and see how it goes.

     

    EDIT: Rephrased my first sentence to "soon after" rather than "in a couple days."

    Alright. Sorry I'm replying slowly, I'm doing a lot right now.

    I'm not quite sure which one would be most important in regards to AdwCleaner so I just included both of the latest documents, "[C2]" was modified at 10:16 PM and "[S1]" was modified at 10:13 PM, both on April 20th.

    I can't find the HitmanPro one. I'm not sure I have it anymore. Should I try that again?

     

    **EDIT** Added the date the documents were modified.

    JRT.txt

    Fixlog.txt

    AdwCleaner[C2].txt

    AdwCleaner[S1].txt

    I got Ad-Aware after the viruses started appearing because I've used it before, so I trust it. It came from a site called lavasoft.com. I need to renew the license though so I uninstalled it.

    As for those logs, I'm not sure I still have them. What would they be called?

    Hi, I'm having trouble with some stupid adware that has been on Chrome for two days now, and it won't go away. I don't even know how I got it since I haven't installed anything since March 26th (excluding Malwarebytes), and that was Rainmeter.

    I've tried many different things to eliminate this adware spanning from scanning my PC with Malwarebytes four times, quarantining the threats it did end up finding, using AdwCleaner twice, using HitmanPro, System Restore, Farbar Recovery Scan Tool, Junk Removal Tool, until finally I completely removed Chrome from my computer and reinstalled it. It came right back a day later.

    I'm at the point where I don't know what to do and I'm worried I'll have to reformat my computer, which is frustrating because I don't have the disc with my OS anymore.

    Any help would be much appreciated because I'm about to throw my computer out on the road. Thanks in advance.

     

    **EDIT** I should mention Malwarebytes is blocking many of the popups I'm getting. Sites such as these are trying to come up (putting spaces between dots to avoid linking, just to be safe):

    pixel . uprise . website

    zcx . herdatrocious . com

    There's more than that, I'll update as I see them.

    There's also the fact that sometimes when I try to search something, a thing at the top of the results will appear, labeled "RocketTab, powered by addonjet."
