Vosteran Hijacker

[ScottStoef]

Last night I tried to download some software to cut my daughter's performance music, and low and behold I got the Vosteran hijacker installed on my computer. It was under my wife's account and every time I tried to use MBAM it would find the hijacker, but it couldn't remove it.  I went ahead and logged into my admin account and the Chrome browser was indeed infected.  I went through the instructions found in the following topic (https://forums.malwarebytes.org/index.php?/topic/161498-cant-get-rid-of-vosteran/)%C2'> executed MBAM which seems to have finally got the hijacker removed.  I also ran the Zoek scan, but I'm not sure how to interpret the results to make sure everything is clean again.  I haven't taken any further actions since the ZOEK scan because I wanted professional advice before proceeding. 

 

I believe I have all the logs necessary when someone is ready for the results.

I see from your introduction post that you have run Malwarebytes Antimalware already; can you post the log from the scan that removed the problem?

Also,did you run the Zoek scan from the Administrator account? If so please post that log also.

Thank you.
