Trojan.StartPage

Malwarebytes show that it is in C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\AVast5\Chrome\Chromelnst.exe

It asks if I want to delete, I give the go ahead but it remains.

Please help!

This will be fixed in the next update. I believe that Avast is partially causing this was the detection itself "should" not be possible.

I don't have Avast installed myself but noticed there had been a few threads in the FP forum so got hold of a copy.

Thanks Bruce.

Hi

I have updated and run another scan, and Trojan.startup and it is still there, so I quarantined them deleted it.

I ran another scan and is still there, can you please let me know when you have something available to remove it.

Thanks

H,

I have downloaded File Assasinis it wise to delete this Trojan.startup exe if it can, and is it safe to do so?

Would it be taking important DLL files with it,is there a risk, that my computer will not work anymore?

Thanks for your help.

Yours Maxhammer

If you're still referring to c:\Program Files\Alwil Software\AVast5\Chrome\Chromelnst.exe then there is no need to delete it as it is a false positive that has been fixed.

Post the scan log where mbam detects it.

Hi,

Thanks for letting me know, although I thought that was giving me the problems that I am having.

I believe that I have the Redirect virus, when I click on a Google link it redirects me to various other sites.

Can you help with this problem.

Thank you for your help so far.

Regards

Maxhammer

Yes we can help with that.

We don't deal with malware removal in the General Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware Forum though, you need to start a topic in the Malware Removal forum so a qualified helper can help you fix any malware related problems or infections you may have.

• Please read and follow the directions here, skipping any steps you are unable to complete. Then post a NEW topic here.
  
• After posting your new post, make sure under options, you select Track this topic and choose Immediate Email Notification, so that you're alerted when someone has replied to your post.
  
• One of the expert helpers there will give you one-on-one assistance when one becomes available.
  
• Please refrain from making any further changes to your computer (Install/Uninstall programs, use special fix tools, delete files, edit the registry, etc...) unless advised by a malware removal helper. Doing so can result in system changes which may hinder the attempts by a helper to clean your machine.
  

NOTE: Please DO NOT post back to (bump) your topic within the first 48 hours.

Replying to your own posts changes the post count and helpers are looking for topics with zero replies. If you reply to your own post helpers may think that you're already being helped and thus overlook your post.

• • If there is no reply from any experts after 48 hours, you can reply to the topic, asking for help again.
    Or
    
  • You may send a Private Message to a Moderator asking for assistance.
    

Alternatively, as a paying customer, you can contact the help desk at support@malwarebytes.org or here.

Please be patient, someone will assist you as soon as it is possible.
