Blasteroids Ads and popups still here!

[Kohakuu3]

My computer was infected a few days ago while trying to find codecs to make a video work. I immediately began trying to remove it, going through all the steps on this page:
http://malwaretips.com/blogs/remove-blasteroids-virus/
However, even after running all of the anti-malware programs several times, and uninstalling and reinstalling chrome, the ads, popups and random hyperlinks persist. I'm hoping someone can help me figure out why this is still happening. The FRST reports are attached. Please realize that I am not super computer literate, so any steps to help would be greatly appreciated in as simple as possible terms and directions. Once again, thanks!

Hello,



They call me TwinHeadedEagle around here, and I'll be working with you.



Before we start please read and note the following:

• 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.
  
• If I don't hear from you within 3 days from this initial or any subsequent post, then this thread will be closed.

First, go and remove FileParade Bundle

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 finished FRST will generate a log on the Desktop, called Fixlog.txt.

Please attach it to your reply.

Fix with AdwCleaner

Please download AdwCleaner by Xplode and save the file to your desktop.

• Right-click on
  
  icon and select
  
  Run as Administrator to start the tool.
• Follow the prompts and click Scan.
• When finished, please click Clean.
• Upon completion, click Report. A log (AdwCleaner[S*].txt) will open.

Please include the contents of that file in your reply.

All right, I've completed those steps, and have uploaded the log files from each program run. What's next?

 

[TwinHeadedEagle]

How is your PC now?

 

[Kohakuu3]

The ads are still there, although the popup tabs seem to have decreased in frequency. Random hyperlink texts are still here, although they also seem to have decreased in frequency.

 

[TwinHeadedEagle]

Does it happens on all websites or only on particular?

 

[Kohakuu3]

There's a few sites like Facebook, Gmail and Hotmail that it isn't occurring on anymore, but most of the webcomics, forums and other sites I frequent still have those ads, popups and hyperlink texts.

 

[TwinHeadedEagle]

Try with resetting your router.

 

[Kohakuu3]

I'm on a public router at a summer camp at the moment, so I tried unplugging the phone line and the power cable and putting them back, but I'm still getting ads, although there haven't been anywhere near as many popups. The ads are also, for the most part, just blank, empty space, and only once in a while does an ad actually load in that area.

 

[TwinHeadedEagle]

Are ads happening on all websites or only on particular? Does other members of the camp have this problem? In which browser is this happening?

Try using Adblock

https://adblockplus.org/en/chrome

 

[Kohakuu3]

Only some websites, such as forums, webcomics and manga sites continue to have problems. No one else at the camp has complained of this problem, so it's confined to my machine. This happens in Chrome and Firefox, and in Internet Explorer it still occasionally begins the Blasteroids game.

I've installed adblock, and even with the "Allow some non-intrusive advertising" button unchecked, it still continues. I've tried using the 'block element' option and targeting some things, but after a few visits they reappear.

I do not see malware on your PC. There is a possibility that these sites are compromised.
