Laptop: SecurityCheck.txt One that had the major Malware Desktop: SecurityCheckd.txt Just in case... even that I have no idea what I'm looking at lol

Yeah, the main part of it has been resolved and that's edge that is linked as for chrome not yet however that's only on one system anyway.

Have malwarenybytes on all devices, tablets and phones and picks up nothing, even that I disable sync disable. tablets are Amazon silk browser, android phone double tap and nothing to report.

Hello I was updated and checking my apps and whatnot and came across a app called "Private compute services" and the reviews are not good. I don't even understand what the app does? Is it harmful or what?

And it begins again with Chrome. I leave it for tonight, as long as Edge is safe and good since I on;y use Edge on my desktop. So, the best bet download and install Chrome, Disable edge offline and not Sync and follow the link!

I removed or I think I have. redone the steps again, had to edit text file to say profile 2, then open edge no longer opens 6 tabs so that's good. I open many tabs logged into my accounts and run Malwarebytes 5 times and I believe it's fix - results Passed ;) How can you tell if it's fix and won't return - also on my desktop I will no longer have it logged on and Sync. Also since Chrome is uninstalled - is it safe to add chrome back?

Update, I have noticed that there is profile 1 and 2 and that fixlist attached says profile 1 and so I edited to profile 2 and rerun it again! = Fixlog.txt Rebooted system and run Malwarebytes = results passed no malware So two profiles and so that something to deal with as one min I'm on one or then two! open up Edge and no longer opens 6 tabs - I open tabs as normal as I'm logged in with Sync on.. I run Malwarebytes again and 16 Malware appeared DAMN IT @MKDB - Not resolved

Run it again, keeps saying in Fix Log file not found!

Logged in, Run as you told me to. Results Fixlog.txt When I did run the fix, taken two secs and done.. should not taken that fast? After sync off and disable rebooted and run Malwarebytes, results still came back with 4 malware ( Adware) Open Edge and 5 or 6 tabs open up again ;( no idea why it's not working? Addition (1).txt

Do I need to logged out of edge account and disable Sync before step one and two?

Update: these are the results from my desktop PC - Addition.txt FRST.txt Even that I have sync disable and using just edge with account not logged in, plus running Malwarebytes scan, nothing is showing up, that's good even that the desktop used to have this malware! Results post above Laptop - that has malware and desktop doesn't

Can't remember if it is or not now - FRST.txt And Addition.txt

@MKDB so I ran FRST software and then used the fixing option, it then system restarted and gave me a log, Fixlog.txt From Edge, did the following via edge://sync-internals/ - When I did open up Edge it opened up five tabs and Lucky Searchers appeared again, Malwarebytes blocked it. Run Malwarebytes and still came back

That's right, Only on one system, On my desktop, It's logged off and not Sync, Plus I had Chrome installed on my Laptop and never have it for Edge, I also removed Chrome but no idea if it's still liked even if not installed

Yeah no problems, heads up, I have no idea how it came around but now I have more malware - called Lucky Searches....

So, I ave followed the steps and after rebooted, It still COMES BACK - I did it three times and still comes back, whatever I do - it doesn't go away ;(

The files attached... FRST.txt Addition.txt what would be the best option then! Perform a reset to fix a synchronization or Perform a reset to remove your data from Microsoft's cloud

I do not even know what adware.Elex.ShrtCln is and what it does? what does it effact?

Hello, I'm stuck and been going round and round for hours, I can't remove "adware.Elex.ShrtCln" As soon as I remove it it comes back again. The main focus is Edge and whatever I do it keeps COMING BACK. Worse part about it that it's not just on my desktop but also on my Laptop. It was just a simple web-searching around and BANG -I run malwarebytes over and over, I reset my browser on both system, deleted everything, I even removed browser cache on both system. The virus or malware keeps coming back for Edge, I do not have chrome installed anymore. Only one note to add that "adware.Elex.ShrtCln" does appear when I'm not logged into anything, But as soon as I log into edge it comes back... If I logout and remove "adware.Elex.ShrtCln" and stay loged out it doesn't appear. On my desktop I'm loged out and will stay offline as I try and work on my Laptop to resolve this, So is Help?
