ads.1seven9.com adware

[jcursiolf]

I have had about 10 days ago this problem and formatted my computer. It fixed, but then it returned yesterday (see screenshot) and I am not even sure where I got that. Chrome (not sure about Edge or Internet Explorer) randomly reroutes to this ads.1seven9.com website (which has the title "Your page is loading...") and then again to some ad website.

Windows Defender didn't find anything.

Malware Bytes didn't find anything.

Rkill didn't find anything

Farbar Recovery Scan Tool also (apparently) didn't find anything.

Adwcleaner didn't find anything.

Junkware Removal Tool also didn't find anything.

Zemana found a shortcut in the Start Menu to MegaSync tool, which I use for cloud that Zemana said contained "Malware:Win32/Startup-Gen.A!Neng". I quarantined it for safety, then I started MegaSync again and re-enabled "start with Windows" option, and once again Zemana points that file to me. Thus, I don't consider this to be the source of the problem.

Now I'm running Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool to see if I get anything.

Hi,

I have the same problem. I also got this redirections to different ad-websites. I was able to link it through my browsing history to the loading and redirecting throuh ads.1seven9.com. I have no idear, what initiated the loading of that page. I checked my system but found nothing, too.

My main concern is now, that it is some kind of malware. But could it also be "just" an rouge-ad from a "normal" website which initiate that redirections?

I wasn't able to reproduce it and link it to a specific site - thats why I am concerned it maybe malware.

I am using firefox (uptodate) with Win10 (fall creators update). I did not install any program/toolbar/browserextension/pluging in the past 2 months.

@jcursiolf:

Where you able to observe whether your redirections appeared on websites without ads / adbanners, too? For example just the google-search site.

I had this on more than one website, and the examples that I remeber were xda-developers.com  and duden.de. However, I can't be sure about the others.
