Getting constant website blocked due to riskware popups and it's driving me crazy. Just recently now it saying website blocked due to Malvertising. I use the same plugins in chrome at home and at work and I'm only getting the popups at home. I've removed all of my non google plugins now and it's still happening regardless of the website I'm on. It's just anytime Chrome is open.

Welcome smile.png
 
I'll be helping you with your computer.
 
Please read this post completely before beginning. If there's anything that you do not understand, please don't hesitate to ask before proceeding.
 
Please take note of the guidelines for this fix:

  • Please note that I am a volunteer. I do have a family, a career, and other endeavors that may prevent immediate responses that meet your schedule. Do note that the differences in time zones could present a problem as well. Your patience and understanding will be greatly appreciated.
  • First of all, the procedures we are about to perform are specific to your problem and should only be used on this specific computer.
  • Do not make any changes to your computer that include installing/uninstalling programs, deleting files, modifying the registry, nor running scanners or tools of any kind unless specifically requested by me.
  • Please read ALL instructions carefully and perform the steps fully and in the order they are written.
  • If things appear to be better, let me know. Just because the symptoms no longer exist as before, does not mean that you are clean.
  • Continue to read and follow my instructions until I tell you that your machine is clean.
  • If you have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to ask before performing the task that I ask of you, and please wait for my reply before you proceed.
  • Scanning with programs and reading the logs do take a fair amount of time. Again, your patience will be necessary. smile.png

Let's begin... 

here is no evident malware in those FRST64 logs.

The following Fix will empty these folders:

  • Windows Temp
  • Users' Temp folders
  • Edge, IE, FF, Chrome, and Opera caches, HTML5 storages, Cookies and History
  • Recently opened files cache
  • Discord cache
  • Java cache
  • Steam HTML cache
  • Explorer thumbnail and icon cache
  • BITS transfer queue (qmgr*.dat files)
  • Recycle Bin
  • Hosts file will be reset

Important: items are permanently deleted. They are not moved to quarantine. If you have any questions or concerns, please ask before running this fix.

The system will be rebooted after the fix has run.

FRST64 was saved as D:\Downloads\FRST64.exe

  • Download the enclosed file  Fixlist.txt
  • Save it in the same location FRST64 is saved.
  • Start FRST (FRST64) with Administrator privileges
  • This time around Press the Fix button and wait
  • When finished, a log file (Fixlog.txt) will pop up and saved in the same location the tool was ran from.

Please attach this file in your next reply.

Dr.Web CureIt!

You will need to send them an email to obtain a link to download the scanner, please do so

  • Close all open applications and locate the downloaded file and double-click to run it
  • The program will take a moment to launch and bring up the License and Update screen
  • Place a check mark to agree to the terms and then click on the Continue button
  • Click the underlined link Select objects for scanning
  • On the top left click the Scanning objects that should automatically check all objects

So I think I might have it figured out finally. I was about ready to fully reset my Chrome browser following the tutorial given when I opened up the settings in chrome (the three dots in the top right) and saw in the drop down a notification that a website had been blocked numerous times. I was able to click on that notification and then fully block it through Chrome. i believe that both Chrome and Malwarebytes were seeing the same thing. On Chrome it referenced Y2mate which apparently was a website used to download youtube videos. I had used something like that in the past and it seems like for whatever reason now it was causing issues. Hoping that's all it was since none of the other scans yielded any issues. Thank you for all your help here and hopefully this helps someone in the future!

  • Read and accept the disclaimer.
  • When the tool opens, ensure all boxes under Actions are checked.
  • Under Delete Quarantines select Delete Now, then click Run.
  • Once complete, click OK.
