Infected with Hijack.Exe

Can anybody advise what I can do to get rid of this infection?

Seems like you found a HTML:FakeAlert

if that pops up frequently then you may have some crap in your browser that need to be removed

if so, follow instructions here  >>  https://forums.malwarebytes.com/topic/9573-im-infected-what-do-i-do-now/

Similar to these ?

I have created a series of videos generated from these fraud sites for the purposes of recognition and education.  They are all  videos from real web sites.  ALL are FRAUDS.

You will also see I do my best to submit as many sites as possible such that Malwarebytes' products can block access to them.  You can see my submissions in;  Newest IP or URL Threats  labeled as "HTML.FakeAlert".

Are you with us Tomahawk1234 ?

So sorry David. Been working. 

Uninstalled Chome, re-ran Malwarebytes, and reinstalled Chrome. Problem solved. 

Thanks

Thanx for the update.

However what you did was not necessary.  It had nothing to do with any software on your PC.  It is nothing but a nefarious web site.  One with Fraud in mind.  The objective is to, falsely, goad you to make the phone call and pay for some service contract for an incident that never happened.

I apologize for not making that clearer.
