  1. Actually I was looking for a more specific answer like a process or something I can check myself- or maybe a tool that can scan for specific rogue processes - your response that "computer would be very very slow" doesnt give me much. Also, pls. note that even with the infection present, my computer or browser was "not very very slow". If I were to specify - Id say barely 10-15% degradation in speed was noticed if any- which essentially means that it was not perceptible normally. If you do happen to know of any other thing helpful in my situation, pls. let me know. Else, I thank you very much for all the time and help you've provided- which indeed was very welcome. Lastly- is kaspersky free in your opinion, better suited than malwarebytes free to detect and check against web and installed miners, PUPs other malware? And is running Malwarebytes on a restart routine (without windows loading up) better to check and remediate against malware and how to do it?
  2. Thanks for responding. it seems you missed my first point- what I meant to ask is- How can I rest assured that malware has been taken care of now - if you recall even before Malwarebytes did not show thiose coinminer infections maybe because Win Defender had them quarantined? So it was Windows security /defender that showed it, quanrantined it and contained it- is that right? So how do I know for sure that the malware has been removed completely? What tests shd. I run to check it?
  3. Hi- pl.s respond line by line so I know that I've not misunderstood your points: 1. Do u mean to say except the group policy which will put it to restrict - nothing else is required to be done and my system is clean now. I shd. enable chrome sync across devices (obviously following the link you sent?) 2. For future, I shd. just use an ad blocker and hosts file from that source I listed above. And use virustotal to check software downloaded. 3. Do I need to use a sandboxed browser as well- does it give me any extra protection apart from the step above? 4. And to periodicaly check for malware - PUPs etc ...shd. I just run malwarebytes free every week- shd. I run just a threat scan or a complete scan?
  4. Also- if you can recommend that for future, is it best to use "ublock origin AD blocker" and an updated hosts file from here https://someonewhocares.org/hosts/ - to prevent future such episodes? And when I'm visiting sites and downloading software that I don't trust fully- shd. I use something like bitbox or a sandboxed browser and scan any software downloaded, thru malwarebytes freem before testing it thru installing.
  5. ok but pls. tell me what is this script going to do? Is it performing cleaning or uninstalling stuff? what all does it do?
  6. Hi Nasdaq: thanks for replying. Did all that you asked. Maybe windows defender is just keeping them in quarantine and they keep resurfacing....I'll await your findings, specially on my main points requested above. I tried pasting below the FRST output but forum apparently doesnt allow that. So ive attached that as well like the other file. Addition.txtFRST.txt
  7. I've Win 10 pro desktop (all updated patched) running regular Windows Security and Malwarebytes free. My Win Security had flagged these malware and PUPs a string of coin miners etc. and it shows some as quarantined and others active. So obviously they are not really removed (but keep surfacing up) each time the PC is starting. I ran malwarebytes free but it detected nothing...which was very dissapointing. I've attached screenshots of what all is found by win security. Can someone help me get rid of this forever and what's the right routine to run- say monthly to ensure no coinminer or PUP is highjacking my PCs. thanks a tob
