Malwarebytes can't find malware?

[lojonine]

Hello, 

My computer started running slowly yesterday and wouldn't open Google Chrome, along with not allowing me to search in Microsoft Edge or Internet Explorer. I noticed a new programme called "Chromium" and I followed steps on a Youtube video on how to delete the programme but it seems that it wasn't the issue. I have booted into safe mode and an original malwarebytes scan came up with around 49 files that I quarantined and deleted, expecting that to resolve the issue, however, it seems that my computer is still infected and malwarebytes isn't able to figure out what or where the malware is. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

I've just seen the pinned topic telling me to download the Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and post the logs, so here they are.

Hello @lojonine

Please follow the advice from the following topic

 

If that does not correct the issue then please run the following and I will check back on you again on Monday morning.

 

 

Please run the following steps and post back the logs as an attachment when ready.

STEP 01

• If you're already running Malwarebytes then open Malwarebytes and check for updates. Then click on the Scan tab and select Threat Scan and click on Start Scan button.
• If you don't have Malwarebytes installed yet please download it from here and install it.
• Once installed then open Malwarebytes and select Scan and let it run.
• Once the scan is completed click on the View Report button, then the Export button and save the file as a Text file to your desktop or other location you can find and attach that log on your next reply.
• If Malwarebytes won't run then please skip to the next step and let me know in your next reply.

STEP 02

Please download AdwCleaner by Malwarebytes and save the file to your Desktop.

• Right-click on the program and select Run as Administrator to start the tool.
• Accept the Terms of use.
• Wait until the database is updated.
• Click Scan Now.
• When finished, please click Clean & Repair.
• Your PC should reboot now if any items were found.

RESTART THE COMPUTER Before running Step 3

STEP 03
Please download the Farbar Recovery Scan Tool 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

• Double-click to run it. When the tool opens, click Yes to disclaimer.
• Press the Scan button.
• It will make a log (FRST.txt) in the same directory the tool is run. Please attach it to your reply.
• The first time the tool is run, it also makes another log (Addition.txt). If you've, run the tool before you need to place a checkmark here.
• Please attach the Additions.txt log to your reply as well.

 

Thanks
