j4v3d Posted November 13, 2017 ID:1182207 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Hello. I've tried uninstalling Chrome, resetting the data and running the malwarebytes free version scan - then i delete the quarantined results and restart the PC. After rescanning it once the computer has signed in i keep getting the same adware.yontoo appearing in the scanned results. See below; How can i make sure i remove this once and for all so it doesnt appear again? I've tried the MalwareBytes Adware cleaner - that has removed other stuff but this Adware.Yontoo is driving me insane. Please can anyone recommend what i should do? Thank you. j4v3d Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I did the manual process, scanned the PC several times and voila nothing was detected. Will scan again in the morning when I'm back in work. Thank you.
