Malwarebytes doesnt remove lawsivo.ru??

[uctex]

Hi,

Chrome on my laptop gets re-directed to lawsivo.ru ... I tried running MB, AdwCleaner, Windows Defender etc. None of them removed this. AdwCleaner went ahead removed the IOBit Advanced SystemCare, which btw didn't remove it either. 

I also noticed that if I try to open any link, I can see messages like "waiting for 9vik2qek.ru", "waiting for y93u1vln04t5n1.ru" etc on Chrome's bottom left side. Btw, this issue is there only on Chrome but not on Edge. 

I tried uninstalling and re-installing Chrome, the same issue persists.

Kindly advise.

Thanks

Hello uctex and welcome to Malwarebytes.. Run the following and post the produced logs.. Download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your desktop. Alternative download option: http://www.techspot.com/downloads/6731-farbar-recovery-scan-tool.html Note: You need to run the version compatible with your system (32 bit or 64 bit). If you are not sure which version applies to your system download both of them and try to run them. Only one of them will run on your system, that will be the right version. If your security alerts to FRST either, accept the alert or turn your security off to allow FRST to run. It is not malicious or infected in any way... Be aware FRST must be run from an account with Administrator status...   Double-click to run it. When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.(Windows 8/10 users will be prompted about Windows SmartScreen protection - click More information and Run.) Make sure Addition.txt is checkmarked under "Optional scans"   Press Scan button to run the tool.... It will make a log (FRST.txt) in the same directory the tool is run. Please copy and paste it to your reply. The tool will also make a log named (Addition.txt) Please attach that log to your reply. Thank you, Kevin...

Thanks, how to attach are the output files ? ... I am seeing the attach link as "Loading..."

[uctex]

Done, attaching logs don't work on Chrome ... but worked fine from Edge.

FRST.txt

Thanks for those logs, continue:

Download attached fixlist.txt file (end of reply) and save it to the Desktop, or the folder you saved FRST into. "Do not open that file when running FRST fix"
NOTE. It's important that both FRST and fixlist.txt are in the same location or the fix will not work.

Open FRST and press the Fix button just once and wait.
The tool will make a log on the Desktop (Fixlog.txt) or the folder it was ran from. Please post it to your reply.

Thats` great news, unles you have any remaining 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 may 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.
