Pyromancer Posted October 12, 2015 ID:994950 Share Posted October 12, 2015 I have been using free version of malwarebytes but had to update and chose the trial for premium. When I open firefox, and only firefox, malware bytes is stopping cnfg.montiera.com and ssl-cnfg.montiera.com from running but when I do a scan it doesn't find anything. I have tried microsoft security essentials, microsoft emergency response tool, and SuperAnti Spyware. None of which has found anything called montiera or any other name I have found through searches related to montiera. I did search through registry and found babylon which I saw was related to montiera and removed those entries but it still tries to launch when I open firefox. Since it is the premium version stopping it from running and I won;t have that two weeks from now I would really love to get this off my PC. Anyone know anything about this and can help?

Pyromancer Posted October 12, 2015 Author ID:995098 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Just started up firefox 10 times in a row and no pop up from malwarebytes, and it doesn't appear in 'add to web exclusions' when right clicking the malwarebytes icon at the moment. So maybe it's gone. Thank you TwinHeadedEagle for the assistance. I think I will give it a day and see what happens and if I don't see it again then I will buy you a beer or two. EIther that or I will be here crying again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyromancer Posted October 13, 2015 Author ID:995258 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Something you had me run has it so I can't play my games anymore, they freeze for a split second every second or two now, all of them. They were running fine even with the issue I was having going on and now they don't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinHeadedEagle Posted October 13, 2015 ID:995319 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Which games doesn't work? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyromancer Posted October 13, 2015 Author ID:995333 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Every game Ive tried so far which is most of my steam library. Arma 3, AA Proving Grounds, BF3, Borderlands2, Dying Light, Evolve, Killing Floor 2, Mad Max, Rising Storm/Red Orchestra, Rocket League and a few others. Haven't opened one yet that isn't doing it. I see the HD light blinking when it happens alot of times but it always does when playing anyway so I dunno. They freeze for a split second every second or two, at opening screens, at main menu, during loading, during gameplay. I played a couple of games while still infected (took a break from trying to solve it on my own) and they ran the same as usual. After solving the issue this new problem started. At first I thought it was just Mad Max doing it since it doesn't run great anyway (doesn't for most people PC and console) but when trying others the same thing happened, so I started checking the rest. I was about to format my HD but damn what a pain. As far as if it actually was something done during fixing I don't know, just frustrated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwinHeadedEagle Posted October 15, 2015 ID:995625 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Do you still have MalwareBytes warnings? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyromancer Posted October 15, 2015 Author ID:995650 Share Posted October 15, 2015 No, that went away, and hasn't been back. Only thing being picked up are tracking cookies when I use chrome. I wish I had used system restore when I saw them available but it was late for me. All I did was deactivate internet connection and put the PC on low power mode which I have set turn of monitors and sleep. No idea why those went away except to aggrevate me more. Tried reverting nvidia drivers in case I had just missed the games that were stuttering after the update (some do work it seems) but no go there. Have checked voltages, memory, HD seems ok. I dunno what the heck is going on. Maybe if I reset my bios to original state I dunno. I don't wanna re-install windows and just end up having the same issue. When watching my video cards clock while running a game I did see it zig zagging up and down a short amount coinciding with the stutter. I've never seen it do that before when watching it. It's usually a straight line. Inside of my case is fairly clean, temps are all ok. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
