Adobe Flash update hijacked & Destroyed Malewarebytes

[captnron]

Guys,

 

I'm new to the forums.

 

I've had the full version of Mbytes the last three years.

Today was bad. I went to the official Adobe site for a simple Flash update.

Everything went fine, I installed the newer version & re-booted.

 

My desktop came up & there was some stuff PC cleaner splash window I could not close.

I went into programs (running Win 7 64 bit, IE 11) & found six hijack programs. Three said they were Aztec programs. Two were something called AudioHP, one was called Marketer.

 

So, I deleted them, rebooted & tried to run Chameleon. This would not work, only error messages in the DOS window. I then tried to run Malwarebytes, I could not.

 

Whatever this was destroyed my Mbytes program. Tried several restores in safe mode, nothing. I finally uninstalled Mbytes & used Mbytes Clean to fully uninstall.

 

Upon re-installing, Chameleon worked fine but only found 2 PUP files. I have NO IDEA what happened. I wanted to let the Mbytes people know that something was downloaded that was able to destroy it.

 

It was the official Adobe site I went to, maybe it was bounced or hijacked, I don't know at this point.

 

This post however, will be forwarded to Adobe along with alot of expletive-deletive's.

 

Is some hacker attacking Mbytes?

Hello and

 

 

More than likely you were redirected to download a fake update.

 

I would suggest following the advice from the topic here Available Assistance for Possibly Infected Computers and having one of the Experts assist you with looking into your issue.
 

 

Thanks
