Isolated Storage: BlinkyApp/Chameleon/ObsidianApp

[kristell]

Hello there.

I recently noticed on my laptop that when I went to the recently changed search there was loads of jpgs in there which I have not downloaded.

A folder has appeared:

C:\Users\HP\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Toolbar\IsolatedStorage\ObsidianApp as well as Chameleon and Obsidian App

and folders are appearing under that. (see screenshot attached)

The pictures are not 'porn' just images.... but taking up so much space.

I am going in daily to delete all of the folders but each day new ones appear.

Please can someone help me to stop these automatically downloading.

Thank you

Hi, kristell:

A routine Google search turned up this: http://productforums...asa/-fEI0wUApd4 and this: http://www.podnutz.c...php?f=26&t=8155

In any event, it might be best to have an expert guide you through some scans to be sure you're not infected & to remove the offending program.

We can't work on malware diagnostics and removal in this sub-section of the forum.

So, for expert help woth scanning/cleaning your system, please follow the recommendations in this sticky topic: Available Assistance For Possibly Infected Computers.

Thanks,

Yes I saw them but wasn't sure it was actually an infection or a programme doing automatic updates so didn't want to post in the malware forum if it wasn't the correct place to post. Perhaps someone can move the post to that forum for me?

You can wait for a forum mod to move the topic, but it might be more efficient to just start a new topic in the malware section, especially if you're not sure how this program was installed on your computer (you may have picked up other unwanted programs/malware, too).

(The mods will then close this topic here.)

Before you do, please read and carefully follow the instructions in this sticky topic >>HERE<<, so that you can include the first set of requested scan logs with your post.

Once you get the all-clear from your helper over there, he/she may refer you back here, if there are any remaining, non-malware-related issues.

Thanks,

Thanks for that. I will do that.

I have had checks before so understand the process and will undertake the necessary scans.

Regards.
