Yourtv.link/custom google malware

[targetedn00b]

Hi Everyone, first off, I like what this site has to offer and want to thank you guys for all your help.

I somehow got this malware and now my google chrome crashes even after I uninstalled and reinstalled. I went into the registry and also removed the default homepage just because I couldn't do it through google.

Please see attached for both files ran through the Farbar Recovery Tool

FRST.txt

Addition.txt

Yes a malicious start up entry was moved with FRST, One other point, Malwarebytes log shows "No Action by Use" against malicious Chrome executable... Can run once more and quarantine found entries. Also tell me if there are any remaining issues or concerns...

Thank you,

Kevin..

Hi Kevin,

I did as was told but now I realized my google chrome cast wont work at all. Not sure if this is related to what was in the fixlist.txt but I figured i'd ask.

Thanks

No entries removed with FRST would affect Chromecast. Can you remove the fake chrome entry list by Malwarebytes as "No Action by User" Genuine Chrome.exe run from the following address... C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\Chrome.exe

[targetedn00b]

I'm having trouble understanding. Do you want me to delete chrome from C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\Chrome.exe ? Or where is this fake chrome entry as "No action by User" located?

Sorry for the stupid question. Thanks

[kevinf80]

I prefer you ask any question if you are unsure, this is not being stupid its being cautious.... Portion of Malwarebytes log follows:

Quote

Memory: Enabled
Startup: Enabled
Filesystem: Enabled
Archives: Enabled
Rootkits: Enabled
Heuristics: Enabled
PUP: Enabled
PUM: Enabled

Trojan.FakeAlert.E, C:\PROGRAMDATA\GOOGLE\GOOGLE CHROME.EXE, No Action By User, [1887], [353510],1.0.1765

Physical Sector: 0
(No malicious items detected)

This is the correct addess of Chrome.exe C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\Chrome.exe

So the one in Malwarebytes log is Fake, navigate to and delete this folder C:\PROGRAMDATA\GOOGLE

What is happening with your PC now, do you have any remaining issues or concerns...?

Thank you,

Kevin....

Ahhh gotcha! So I ran a scan on Malwarebytes before and I think I got rid of it. Also the "ProgramData" folder was hidden. Figured out how to unhide it and verified that specific google file was removed. Looks like that's the end of that. Thanks again for the help!

Excellent, if no reemaining issues or concerns run the following to clean up...

Download "Delfix by Xplode" and save it to your desktop. Or use the following if first link is down: "Delfix link mirror" If your security program alerts to Delfix either, accept the alert or turn your security off. Double Click to start the program. If you are using Vista or higher, please right-click and choose run as administrator Make Sure the following items are checked:   Remove disinfection tools <----- this will remove tools we have used. Purge System Restore <--- this will remove all previous and possibly exploited restore points, a new point relative to system status at present will be created. Reset system settings <--- this will reset any system settings back to default that were changed either by us during cleansing or malware/infection Now click on "Run" and wait patiently until the tool has completed. The tool will create a log when it has completed. We don't need you to post this. Any remnant files/logs from tools we have used can be deleted… Next, Read the following links to fully understand PC Security and Best Practices, you may find them useful.... Answers to Common Security Questions and best Practices Do I need a Registry Cleaner? Take care and surf safe Kevin...
