Solved Ads from OnlineBrowserAdvertising/RemoveTheAdApp3.5

[Froggy]

Hi! A little elaboration on steps taken.
Yesterday night I was infected with OffersWizard but I managed to remove it according to the blog guide(without scanning) but tonight I was once again infected, but by OnlineBrowserAdvertising. This time round, I undertook all the steps till the end(with scans and all) but its still here with addition to RemoveTheAdApp links.

OnlineBrowserAdvertising: Able to follow steps right till the end but to no avail
RemoveTheAdApp: Followed through until removing in Google Chrome Extensions but it was under enterprise policy which i followed through in the additional guide as well but did not work at the regedit.exe step as it couldnt find the ID code. When the search finished the field was still blank

I tried to describe to the best of my ability, I hope that's enough information If not do ask Ill be willing to provide. Thanks

I need Addition.txt report too...

 

[Froggy]

About that, it's not there owo

 

[TwinHeadedEagle]

Then run FRST again, check Addition.txt, press Scan and attach both produced reports.

 

[Froggy]

Oh so that's how you do it . Sorry, here it is.

Before we begin, I want you to have this in mind:

• At the top of your post, please click on the "Watch thread" button and make sure to check Watch this thread...and receive email notifications. This will send an email to you as soon as I reply to your topic, allowing me to solve your problem faster.
• Please do not install any new software during the cleaning process other than the tools I provide for you. This can hinder the cleaning process. Please do not perform System Restore or any other restore.
• Instructions I give to you are very simple and made for complete beginner to follow. That's why you need to read through my instructions carefully and completely before executing them.
• Please do not run any tools other than the ones I ask you to, when I ask you to. Some of these tools can be very dangerous if used improperly. Also, if you use a tool that I have not requested you use, it can cause false positives, thereby delaying the complete cleaning of your machine.
  
• All tools we use here are completely clean and do not contain any malware. If your antivirus detects them as malicious, please disable your antivirus and then continue.
• If during the process you run across anything that is not in my instructions, please stop and ask. If any tool is running too much time (few hours), please stop and inform me.
• I visit forum several times at day, making sure to respond to everyone's topic as fast as possible. But bear in mind that I have private life like everyone and I cannot be here 24/7. So please be patient with me. Also, some infections require less, and some more time to be removed completely, so bear this in mind and be patient.
• Please stay with me until the end of all steps and procedures and I declare your system clean. Just because there is a lack of symptoms does not indicate a clean machine. If you solved your problem yourself, set aside two minutes to let me know.
  
• Please attach all report using
  
  button below. Doing this, you make it easier for me to analyze and fix your problem.

First, go to Control Panel and uninstall following (skip lines that cannot be uninstalled):
- GPU Monitor
- McAfee Security Scan Plus
- Adobe Reader 9.1
- Java(TM) 6 Update 29
- Java 7 Update 45

Latest versions of Java and Adobe Reader available here --> http://www.java.com/en/ and here http://get.adobe.com/uk/reader/
Make sure to uncheck optional offers.
