Before we start:
- Note that the removal process is not immediate. Depending on the severity of your infection, it could take a long time.
- Malware removal can be dangerous. I cannot guarantee the safety of your system as malware can be unpredictable. It is possible that we might encounter situations where the only recourse is to re-format and re-install your operating system. Therefore, I would advise you to backup all your important files before we start.
- Please be patient and stay with me until I give you the green lights and inform you that your PC is clean.
- Some tools may be flagged by your antivirus as harmful. Rest assure that ALL the tools we use are safe, the detections are false positives.
- The absence of symptoms does not mean your PC is fully disinfected.
- If you are unclear about the instructions, please stop and ask. Following the steps in the order that I post them in is vital.
- Lastly, if you have requested help on other sites, that will delay and hinder the removal process. Please only stick to one site.

Yes, only with Chrome. I opened the same pages on IE and Firefox and with that last 2 browsers, the things works normally. No links as on the same pages opened with Chrome.
I did a deep remotion of Chrome with Revo Uninstaller and installed it again but the problem still exists.
-------------
Hey, these are the last minute news........i just erased Chrome and installed it again, but this time i didn't syncronized Chrome with my usual account ( it didn't loaded the bookmark list and the few extensions i had). It works normally and seems clean...... I will Synchronize it and let you know if the problem came back.......
...............
It's exactly as i was suspecting !!!! I synchronized chrome with my usual account and as soon as Chrome has been updated with the bookmark list and the extensions, the problem appeared again. Seems the malware come through the Synchronization of Chrome.
What can i do?

No problem
Double click on OTL to run it
Also, open adwCleaner and click Uninstall
Now that your PC is clean, I recommend you to create a new System Restore point then purge the old ones after.
For Windows 7
Create a restore point
Delete all but the most recent restore point - Click the Delete all but the most recent restore point link
Keeping your programs (especially Adobe and Java products) updated is essential. Outdated programs make your PC more vulnerable to future malware threats. To help you:
I also recommend you to switch your antivirus program to a better one. Here are some suggestions:
In addition to your antivirus, you need additional protection such as a firewall and behavioural blocker. However, adding one of these programs may slow down performance. It is for you to decide the trade off between more security and a faster PC.
Other steps that you may want to do to further protect your system/files:
Here are only a few suggestions that will improve your system security. Should you wish to allow us to make full recommendations and set your PC up with maximum security, please start a thread here. Our community of PC enthusiasts and experts will give you feedback and help you secure your system from future malware infections.
Should you want to try a product but don't know how it performs, here is a list of current reviews to help you decide.
Internet Explorer may be the most popular browser but it's definitely not the most secure browser. Consider using other browsers with addition add-ons to safeguard your system while browsing the internet.
Firefox is a more secure, faster browser than Internet Explorer. Firefox contains less vulnerabilities, reducing the risk of drive-by downloads. In addition, you can add the following add-ons to increase security.
Google Chrome is another good browser that is faster and more secure than Internet Explorer by having a sandbox feature. Additionally, you can add the following add-on to Chrome to heighten security.
Lastly, it is important to perform system maintenance on a regular basis. Here are a few tools and on-demand scanners that you should keep & use every 1-2 weeks to keep your system healthy.
Other than that, stay safe out there! If you have any other questions or concerns, feel free to ask
Double click on OTL to run it
- Click on the Cleanup button at the top.
- You will be asked to reboot the machine to finish the Cleanup process. Choose Yes

Also, open adwCleaner and click Uninstall
Now that your PC is clean, I recommend you to create a new System Restore point then purge the old ones after.
For Windows 7

Delete all but the most recent restore point - Click the Delete all but the most recent restore point link
Keeping your programs (especially Adobe and Java products) updated is essential. Outdated programs make your PC more vulnerable to future malware threats. To help you:
- Download and install Update Checker. It will notify you if any of your programs require an update.
- Microsoft releases patches for Windows and Office products regularly to patch up Windows and Office product bugs and vulnerabilities.
- Please ensure you update your system regularly and have automatic updates on. You can learn how to turn Automatic Updates on here
I also recommend you to switch your antivirus program to a better one. Here are some suggestions:
In addition to your antivirus, you need additional protection such as a firewall and behavioural blocker. However, adding one of these programs may slow down performance. It is for you to decide the trade off between more security and a faster PC.
- Online Armor
- Comodo Firewall - If you are an advance user
- ZoneAlarm Free Firewall
Other steps that you may want to do to further protect your system/files:
- Sandboxie - "Quarantines" your browser so anything that you do in it will be isolated from your system.
- Backup important files regulary to an external hard-drive or USB
