Hello,

Fix with Farbar Recovery Scan Tool

This fix was created for this user for use on that particular machine.

Running it on another one may cause damage and render the system unstable.

​

Download attached fixlist.txt file and save it to the Desktop:

Both files, FRST and fixlist.txt have to be in the same location or the fix will not work!

• Right-click on
  
  icon and select
  
  Run as Administrator to start the tool.
  (XP users click run after receipt of Windows Security Warning - Open File).
• Press the Fix button just once and wait.
• If for some reason the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally. After that let the tool complete its run.
• When finishes FRST will generate a log on the Desktop, called Fixlog.txt.

Please attach it to your reply.

How is your PC behaving now?

I'm still having an add pop-up every 30mins - 1hr, seems to be on a loop, I can't locate where its coming from, nor can any anvti virus i've used. I'm using UBlock, as always, and it's not blocking it very well. Although it does tell me it's coming from wonderlandads.com

Perfect, i'll get back to you tomorrow after work. Truly appreciate your time and help today.

fixlog.txt file as requested

 

[Epuc]

Just an update, adds are still appearing sadly.

 

[TwinHeadedEagle]

Is this a problem only in Google Chrome?

 

[Epuc]

I can't confirm, I believe it is. Chrome is my main browser. Speaking of which, I haven't actually received an add pop up in over an hour, may be solved.

 

[TwinHeadedEagle]

Keep me updated. Try browsing various websites.

 

[Epuc]

Will do.

 

[Epuc]

Seems resolved, UBlock is blocking hundreds of ads as usual, although none of them are related to the pop up issue i've been having. Manually scrolled through the logs and checked.

Since there are no more problems, we can declare this PC clean

Now, we can proceed with post-cleanup procedures. Let's remove my tools and create a new, non infected restore point concurrently deleting old ones.


Step 1. - Creation of system restore point and tools removal.


Download DelFix by Xplode and save it to your desktop.

• Run the tool by right click on the
  
  icon and Run as administrator option.
• Make sure that these ones are checked:
  • Remove disinfection tools
  • Purge system restore
  • Reset system settings
• Push Run and wait until the tool completes his work.
• All tools we used should be gone. Tool will create an report for you (C:\DelFix.txt). I don't need it for review.

Tool deletes old system restore points and creates a fresh system restore point after cleaning.


Step 2. - Tips and tricks to keep your computer clean, safe and in a good shape.


Security tips - highly recommended reading:

• Simple and easy ways to keep your computer safe and secure on the Internet

Maintenance tips:

• Optimize Windows for better performance

Additional software that I personally use and install on all my clients devices:

• Zemana AntiMalware (paid version highly recommended) - to work as a supplement for your antivirus but with excellent remediation and protection
• Zemana AntiLogger - keep everything you type on keyboard out of sight of bad guys trying to steal your credantials
• Malwarebytes' Anti-Exploit - to prevent plenty of mostly exploited vulnerabilities.
• McShield - to prevent infections spread by removable media.
• Unchecky - to prevent from installing additional foistware, implemented in legitimate installations.
• uBlock - to surf the web without annoying ads!
• Qualys BrowserCheck - cloud service that scans your browsers and plugins to see if they’re all up-to-date.

Hey, I hate to say this, but the ads are back ;c

 

[TwinHeadedEagle]

Are they happening in every browser and on different websites? Do they look the same every time or different?
