OUT OF THE BLUE - 705 infections -all real! What did I do?


Recommended Posts

They all seem real. 

In my 15+ years of computer-ing, I have never had this crop up so out of the blue.  I may get 2-3 on occasional MBam scans, but the last scan had 705 !!  Of course, that is counting component files of the programs/malwares.  But now I really need help to figure out what is happening.

I have saved the MBAm scan output. So that is attached.

 

Any help to do a thorough comp clean would be highly appreciated !!  Thanks!

Hi,

Thanks for posting in the Malware Removal for Windows Help forum. Being infected is not fun and can be very frustrating to resolve, but don't worry because we have a team of experts here help you!!

Note: Please be patient. When the site is busy it can take up to 48 hours before a malware removal helper can assist you. If no one has replied to your new topic after 48 hours please contact an Administrator to let them know.

First, if you haven't done so, please run a Threat Scan with the latest version of Malwarebytes. This may resolve your malware infection issue without the need for additional support. Click "Reveal Hidden Contents" below for details:

Please download the Farbar Recovery Scan Tool here and save it to your desktop. Note: You need to run the version compatible with your system. You can check here if you're not sure if your computer is 32-bit or 64-bit

  1. Double-click to run it. When the tool opens click Yes to the disclaimer.
  2. Press the Scan button.

  3. It will make a log (FRST.txt) in the same directory the tool is run. Please attach or copy and paste it to your reply.
  4. The first time the tool is run, it also makes another log (Addition.txt). If you've run it before it may not and you may need to select it manually.
     

Finally, attach the Malwarebytes Threat Scan, FRST.txt and Additional.txt logs to your reply. Before submitting your reply, be sure to enable "Notify me of replies" like so:   notify me.jpeg

Ahem......maybe I spoke to soon.

Why does my Mbam Web Protection getting turned off.  When that happens I am unable to open my Mabam, although its in the tray and clickable.

It keeps saying "real-time protection turned off".  If I use task manager and quit all processes and then restart it works for some time and then whem I am browsing I get the message.

Is there a known issue with Mbam?
