Maurice Naggar Posted June 29, 2019 ID:1319602 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Thank you for the report file. Just as an aside, this pc seems to have Kaspersky free. Did you do a scan with Kaspersky ? Did you just recently install Kaspersky? There are traces of Avast antivirus. The pc should only ever have just one installed antivirus. I also see the Malwarebytes MBAR antirootkit standalone tool, & also the old mbamchameleon ( please do not use the latter. It is not in tune with Malwarebytes version 3.x ). Please do not do any changes on your own. Ask first if you have questions. . Please try uninstalling and reinstalling Malwarebytes for Windows using our Support tool. Let me know if that clears up the issue or not. Uninstall and reinstall using the Malwarebytes Support Toolhttps://support.malwarebytes.com/docs/DOC-2674 You already have the tool. You do not need to re-download it. mb-support-1.4.0.615.exe is on the Downloads folder Sincerely, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codeman Posted June 29, 2019 Author ID:1319606 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Thank you very much Maurice! I am now able to use Malwarebytes after reinstalling with the support tool that you suggested. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maurice Naggar Posted June 29, 2019 ID:1319611 Share Posted June 29, 2019 You are welcome. Did you have a chance to Scan with Malwarebytes ? and, How is the situation on "domclickext" ? Is there anything else you need help on? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codeman Posted June 29, 2019 Author ID:1319612 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Scanning with kaspersky wouldn't tell me any specifics other than it was there, which eventually led to me just reinstalling google chrome which seemed to have fixed the problem. A full scan after that showed it was clean with kaspersky and another scan I did with Malwarebytes also showed to be clean. So looks like I'm all good now. Again I appreciate the help!

Maurice Naggar Posted June 29, 2019 ID:1319615 Share Posted June 29, 2019 OK. I am glad to hear all that. You are welcome. Always glad to help. I just have 2 added tips. See this article on our Malwarebytes Bloghttps://blog.malwarebytes.com/security-world/technology/2019/01/browser-push-notifications-feature-asking-abused/ You want to disable the ability of each web browser on this machine from being able to allow "push ads". That means Chrome, Firefox, or Edge browser (on Windows 10), or on Opera. Scroll down to the tips section "How do I disable them". also, if you use Chrome or Firefox browser, install the Malwarebytes beta browser extension. There is one for Chrome & another for Firefox. To get & install the Malwarebytes beta Chrome extension, Open this link in your Chrome browser: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/malwarebytes/ihcjicgdanjaechkgeegckofjjedodee Then proceed with the setup. I wish you all the best. I will arrange to have this case closed. Sincerely, Maurice Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
