[QUOTE="TehNull, post: 447690, member: 44739"] Hi Just got this issue three hours ago and it's getting on my nerves for real.. I'm really considering formatting my pc just because of it :( I'll copy-paste what I wrote in the "steps taken in order to remove infection" field: First I went into task manager and removed every weird and newly created task and its files.. they all had the same creation time. At the same time deleting any file with the same creation time near that location. Then looked around google and found someone recommending Adware Removal Tool by TSA which I used. It removed the mywebsearch hijacking and asked to restart, but then came another issue "tohot-something". And I ran adware removal tool again which did the job.. or so I thought because it came back. So I ran it again and it removed it again and I haven't restarted yet and running the tool again won't show "files found" but there're still ads everywhere. One thing I noticed is, after running the tool and it fixing the issue there're no problems... until I enable an extension that is.. the moment I enable one everything comes back. I have RES and Mcafee site advisor but I removed them before making this thread. Also when I first attempted to write the thread the laptop was being slow as hell and freezing and being noisy and the page crashed.. now nothing is happening. Also I couldn't attach AdwareCleaner log because my system won't allow the software. [/QUOTE]
