tomsinchina Posted March 30, 2014 Author ID:810468 Share Posted March 30, 2014 This seems to have worked. Thanks!Why would my browser settings have been so screwy?Is there any certainty it won't happen again in a few days? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinf80 Posted March 30, 2014 ID:810543 Share Posted March 30, 2014 It really depends on your surfing habits and what sites you use.. Have you got any security addons for Chrome, maybe AdBlock Plus and FlashBlock... Get from following links, https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/adblock-plus/cfhdojbkjhnklbpkdaibdccddilifddb https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/flashblock/gofhjkjmkpinhpoiabjplobcaignabnl?hl=en Also have a read at this link: http://www.howtogeek.com/58058/how-to-enable-flashblock-in-chrome-and-make-it-5000-more-secure/ Let me know if all is ok and we can clean up, remove tools etc...

tomsinchina Posted March 30, 2014 Author ID:810549 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Great, I've added those plugins and changed the settings in Chrome about running scripts.That guide you linked is a bit out of date, the settings are in a different area now. I found this one online and used it instead: http://www.ghacks.net/2012/07/21/configuring-chromes-click-to-play-feature/Umm so yeah, seems like everything is working great! Let's clean up.

tomsinchina Posted March 30, 2014 Author ID:810554 Share Posted March 30, 2014 I am compelled to ask, out of curiosity, do you help people with problems like this virtually daily for no reason other than you enjoy doing it?Or are you paid by someone, e.g. MalwareBytes?In which case, it's very cool of them to provide such a service without fee, what do they get out of it? Does this work as an early warning on previously undetected infections? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinf80 Posted March 30, 2014 ID:810741 Share Posted March 30, 2014 I am compelled to ask, out of curiosity, do you help people with problems like this virtually daily for no reason other than you enjoy doing it?Or are you paid by someone, e.g. MalwareBytes? I`m a volunteer like the majority of helpers here at Malwarebytes. I do this as a hobby and get a buzz when I help someone and they give thanks with a kind word when we`re done and their system is clean.Guys like yourself come here with many different types of malware and infections, Malwarebytes will get lots of information regarding such malware/infections that will help to make their tools stronger, like you said new infections are found and that information is very much an early warning.....As volunteers we also receive help and guidance from Malwarebytes Guru`s if we need it, I`m by no means an expert and do learn daily when working with malware logs.... any way... We need to remove FRST, first it is very important to deal with its own Quarantine folder by using FRST itself.. OK, we continue: Download attached fixlist.txt file and save it to the Desktop, or the folder you saved FRST into. NOTE. It's important that both FRST and fixlist.txt are in the same location or the fix will not work. Run FRST and press the Fix button just once and wait.The tool will make a log on the Desktop (Fixlog.txt). That will confirm the removal action, delete if successful. Next, Delete FRST.exe from your Desktop or the folder it was saved to, navigate to and delete its folder C:\FRST Next, Download "Delfix by Xplode" and save it to your desktop. "Delfix link mirror" Double Click to start the program. If you are using Vista or higher, please right-click and choose run as administrator Make Sure the following items are checked: Activate UAC Remove disinfection tools Purge System Restore Reset system settings Now click on "Run" and wait patiently until the tool has completed. The tool will create a log when it has completed. Let me know if all is clear, if so can we close out.. Thanks, Kevin..... fixlist.txt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
