Solved Adware w/ Chinese Characters in Chrome & Mozilla Firefox

[phire404]

Hello,

Whoever successfully helps me with this issue I will buy a case of beer.

I have run four different kinds of software scanning my PC. The issue will go away for a little while but then will come back. I also have the same adware (with the Chinese characters) on my samsung android tablet while using chrome. I see the adware when visiting many different websites. At first I thought one of my websites I had built had been infected but I'm not sure if that is the case. Please let me know if you have any further questions and thank you very much!

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 the situation now?

Still seeing adware. (image attached) Also still seeing it on my phone and tablet. I'm afraid it might have something to do with my ISP or internet connection for it to spread all of my devices.

Hello, I'm back! I reset my modem and wireless router. Hopefully that fixes the issue, but do you have any other suggestions? Thank you!
