  1. I guess uBlock Origin is working. I have not seen the malware return since it was installed.
  2. The two logs from early this morning are attached. I have installed uBlock per your previous post. AdwCleaner[C41].txt AdwCleaner[S41].txt
  3. In the 1 hour since I posted the previous message (and completed the ADWCleaner repair), TheBrightTag has returned to my system! In that time I did the following: Yammer, Skype Bus and MS-Teams are running on my system. I responded to MS-Teams messages. I ran the following programs: Word, Acrobat Reader, Quicken, Excel Opened Edge and browsed to a single website I browsed and copied a number of files using Windows 10 File Manager UGH!🤬
  4. Sadly. TheBrightTag has returned. ADWCleaner detects it again. I went ahead and cleaned it again. Log attached. My work has been very limited since running the fix (nothing that should be 'risky'). Thanks for your continued assistance. -bs AdwCleaner[S41].txt
  5. AdwCleaner is finding and, presumably, cleaning TheBrightTag from my computer. However, after short periods of usage (sometimes hours; sometimes a few days), I find that my computer is again reinfected. I can usually tell because the system slows noticeably. My Win10 PC is fully up-to-date and I generally think of myself as a safe user (I use VPN on public sites and am careful about phishing and similar attacks). Nevertheless, I cannot figure out how to completely eradicate this thing. At @exile360 recommendation, I have downloaded and run FRST64. I am attaching logs from both FRST and ADW: ADW S35 Log shows infection this morning. ADW C35 Log shows log after running AdWCleaner (no infection) FRST 1 and Addition 1 logs were run (presumably no infection) ADW S36 Log shows where TheBrightTag infection returned this afternoon (I was on a plane and mostly disconnected from the internet during the ensuing 9 hours FRST2 and Addition 2 logs were run (after detection and before cleaning...therefore infected) ADWS37 Log shows log after running ADWCleaner again (no infection) I just ran ADWCleaner scan again and it did NOT find anything. Nevertheless, I have little confidence that my system is completely eradicated. Thanks much for any help.

  6. @exile360, Thanks much for the detailed response. I have the log files prepared but it is not clear to me what you mean by the "malware removal area." I do not see a forum with that name listed here. Thanks, -Moirty
  7. AdwCleaner is finding and, presumably, cleaning TheBrightTag from my computer. However, after 1-7 days of usage, I find that my computer is again reinfected. I can usually tell because the system slows noticeably. My Win10 PC is fully up-to-date and I generally think of myself as a fairly safe user (I use VPN on public sites and am careful about phishing and similar attacks). Nevertheless, I cannot figure out how to completely eradicate this thing.
