All Hail Glorious nasdaq, the solution to my 29 problems! Malwarebytes now finds 0 PUPS. A few notes: Tried Chrome reset but it did no good. (not sure what post no. 6 refers to?) Went ahead with saving bookmarks and passwords, uninstalling and reinstalling Chrome. For some reason, my Chrome already was enabled to export passwords as a .cvs, but I did have to work through the experimental chrome://flags to Enable the import passwords feature. Many thanks again for your timely assistance!

Good Morning! Just to double-check: my laptop is only set up for a single user, me. I presume I am running FRST as the Administrator. If there is something else I should be doing, let me know. Also note: I do have Norton Antivirus and have not disabled it while running FRST. Attached is the result of the Registry scan. SearchReg.txt

Dear nasdaq, Thank you for your reply. I followed your initial procedure. The resulting FSRT fixlog file is attached. The only variation I made in the procedure was while in Chrome's "Reset & Cleanup", I performed a Cleanup first (with nothing found), followed by the Reset. I then shut Chrome down, reopened it, and ran Malwarebytes as a test. It found the same 29 Spigot PUPS as before. I do not think that my Chrome is synced with any other devices, but please tell me how to confirm that. I presume that if it is not synced with any other devices, your second procedure would not apply. Fixlog_17-05-2019 17.45.18.txt

Malware Bytes always finds 29 Spigot PUP threats, 1 in memory and 28 in system files on my Windows 10, 64 bit laptop, as listed on the attached report. I don't find any extension in Chrome associated with Spigot to disable. I've run the AdwCleaner, Malware Bytes, Hit Man Pro, and reset Chrome settings procedure you posted on the web. That procedure might delete Spigot as long as I don't open Chrome, but as soon as I open Chrome, running Malware Bytes finds the 29 threats again. I've seen your recent post regarding a 2-step, Chrome sync settings possible fix, but I don't understand it. Recent Farbar files are attached. malware report 26APR2019.txt Addition_16-05-2019 15.34.03.txt FRST_16-05-2019 15.34.03.txt
