Malware/Adware that is undetected by Malwarebytes


Niwon

Recommended Posts

Good evening, I just built a new computer and it seems that it has been infected with adware. A new tab is opened in chrome every 45-60 minutes with unwanted ads. I was also infected with a more malicious malware from the same source that would close chrome whenever a search for Malwarebytes or other Malware removal tools were searched. However I circumvented this issue with Malwarebytes loaded on a USB drive. As a side note, the PC has an M.2 SSD and 2 1TB HDDs installed if that makes a difference.

Malwarebytes and Adwcleaner seemed to have taken care of the malicious malware, however it does not detect the adware that seems to open a new tab in chrome with ads every 45-60 minutes. I have also tried Roguekiller and CCleaner, but none of them seem to have worked.

Browsing the forums I have a general idea of what is needed to help me and have attached the files below. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.
