  1. I do use a Password have for years, it's also on my iOS devices. I've also got those browser extensions plus a couple others. Problem solved. Thank you.
  2. I had been using KCSumo to scan for updates. Patchmypc only found one update needed, Malwarebytes. 5.14. I though it updated itself automatically. I do make an effort to keep everything updated. The printer is working fine without that improvement study. Creating a new system image now. I did see even Microsoft does not recommend cleaning the registry, though there has to be a lot of detritus in there, it doesn't cause problems, so leaving it along is probably best. Thanks for your help! :^) gene
  3. Well, they ran adw yesterday and told me that they cleaned the malware out. As we were looking at programs, I questioned those you mentioned myself. Bonjour came with the machine from HP preinstalled. I did get rid of the other things you suggested as well as I got this machine in Nov 2018 and noticed those hadn't been changed or used since 2019. I deleted SRUDB.dat though I had to stop the policy service to do, then restarted it and it has recreated the file. I do not use a proxy, I never have, I suspect that is part of Firefox's setup, it isn't causing any problems with the browser which is operating fine and is what I'm respond to you from actually. So, I got rid of Ccleaner, I can manually empty the caches on my browsers, it was just handy to have that do it for me. What do you suggest as a registry cleaner in it's place? Because that always finds a few errors when I run the program every couple weeks. I no longer have the 6970 printer but do have an 8023 Office Jet printer from HP. Product Improvement study not needed, it gets updated wirelessly. Thanks for your help! I'm going to send this to you and reboot and see what things look like then. I appreciate it! And love Malwarebytes! :^) gene
  4. Okay. Let me know what results? mbst-grab-results.zip
  5. I have an HP Pavilion with 16GB RAM, i7 CPU. Win10 Pro. I noticed a couple months ago it had slowed considerably but everything was usable. None of my daily scans from Malwarebytes Premium ever showed any issue. I also have a subscription to HP Smart Friends, which I rarely used, but last week my whole system suddenly locked and a cold reboot got it running. I called Smart Friends and they remoted in and found a piece of malware had infected the HP folder and showed me memory usage was at 85% or higher. They used their tools and adwcleaner to remove the malware and all traces of it. I've had Malwarebytes Premium for many years and this is the first time, in 32 plus years of personal computer use that a piece of malware has gotten past my security protocols AND my router hardware firewall. I have no idea what it was nor how it evaded Malwarebytes and my hardware firewall. I just wanted to make users aware that it is possible. I tried to find a way to let the company know but couldn't, so decided I would just let people know here that it's possible. My system is running again at top speed with minimal memory usage.
  6. I found it. I recently changed my default search engine to DuckDuckGo which installed an extension, disabling that allows the videos to play. I only wanted the search engine, not the extension. Removing it allows the videos to play with MalwareBytes active and my other ad blockers for that matter. Sorry for the mess. But glad I found the issue and could fix it! Thanks for all your help! :^) gene
  7. Well, I've tried disabling both Malwarebytes and Ghostery on FireFox and Vivaldi, a Chromium based browser, both of which showed those videos prior to installing Malwarebytes browser guard. I couldn't see them in Chrome either - though I rarely use that browser, I did try to see what the situation was there. It is only Huffington. Which I also whitelisted on AdBlock Plus just to be thorough. I don't much care, the rest of the page is fine, the videos I often pause immediately anyway and don't always bother watching. They just used to start immediately and no longer do anything but flash and then go black. It's annoying but it's not FireFox, in fact, Vivaldi has been my default browser for the past few months. I'd sooner give up the videos than the protection...
  8. I did that, actually I run CCleaner Pro as well and regularly clearly caches, but I did that from within the browser. I don't use a HOSTS file, I did years ago, but no longer. I think it is the Huffington site as it isolated to that, so it's their problem, not mine nor Vivaldi's. Thanks! :^)
  9. I disabled it. Also disabled Ghostery and Adblock Plus. No change. This only started happening with the last update, maybe that has something to do with it, but I'm beginning to doubt that as nothing I try from your suggestions works in Firefox either. Maybe it is Huffington that has the problem. Thanks for the assists. I'll keep looking around. :^)
  10. I tried that in several iterations. I didn't like the idea of allowing malware, so I tried it without that, didn't work. So then I decided okay, for this test, I'll just allow everything. Also didn't work. Same thing happens, the first frame flashes then the video box goes black, if I reload the page, it is the same. It is also the same if I use the EXACT link url, or just HuffingtonPost.com in the url box.
  11. I'm having the same trouble in both FireFox and Vivadi (a chromium based browser) something is blocking videos that used to play just fine. I suspect this extension since things worked fine before it. It doesn't block ALL videos, those from the Washington Post play just fine. These play automatically when I select a link from my newsletter. I've also noticed I can't stay signed into Disqus which some sites use. I can login but the first click and the login is gone. They seem related somehow given both began after installing the extension. The site is: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/donald-trump-whistleblower-ukraine_n_5d841a1de4b070d468c9e2a3?ncid=newsltushpmgnews__TheMorningEmail__092019 What happens is the first frame of the video flashes, then the box goes black. I've tried toggling off everything, tried pausing other security extension, reloading the page, nothing helps. This only started after adding this extension. I'd like to know if there's a workaround or I just need to remove the extension. I've other security software, Malwarebytes Premium running anyway, and that didn't interfere in this way with anything. I'm open to suggestions but would like to fix this. Thanks for any ideas. :^)
  12. I should have added, but can't edit my post. That turning off everything does nothing. Reloading the page, does nothing, the video flashes then goes black. I'll be removing it from my browsers if there's no workaround.
