Annoying Popups that aren't detected on scan.

[Shorskii]

Hello, forum.

I've been dealing with these annoying popups for the last two days, and I've only made an account here to try and resolve it.

Each time I open a tab, a tab is reloaded, or a tab is moved, I get a popup saying that Malwarebytes has blocked a Trojan. They come in batches of 3 popups, then go away for a few minutes.

Heres what I did to try and Resolve the issue so far.
- Scanned my Computer 3 times
- Looked through my extensions
- Scanned specifically my Chrome.exe and the folder its in
- Enabled Rootkit Scanning and Scanned (Again)




Please help me, before this drives me insane.

Also, sorry if my post is disorganized, vague, or bad in any way shape or form.

Hello @Shorskii and

 

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.
• After reboot, a log file will be opened. Attach or Copy its content into your next reply.

 

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

I was reaching step 3 when Malwarebytes stopped FRST.exe from running, It was tagged as Ransomware.

I do have the other two scanfiles.

Please exit out of Malwarebytes for now and run FRST again

Thanks

This should be all of them.

I'd also like to inform you that, after using AdwCleaner, It detected one file that has a very odd name. You should be able to see it in the text file.

FRST.txt Scan22320.txt AdwCleaner[C00].txt

Hello @Shorskii

Sorry for the delay. The forum system did not notify me you had replied.
