[QUOTE="gselker, post: 518720, member: 53609"] On 6/20 in an attempt to fix an issue that developed with my Olympus DSS 4.8 software that had stopped to function post a windows update and post researching this issue, I downloaded the Olympus DSS V5 software. Upon installation, i needed a new serial # and then I mistakenly opened up a link to obtain a new Olympus DSS serial #. Immediately, a PC speed enhancer app started downloading, which I stopped and then uninstalled. However, this is when my PC became infected with adware/malware. When opening up Chrome, sometimes but not all the time, a Bing toolbar is inserted. When opening up a new tab, more than 75% of the time the browser is highjacked and directed to beeping or flashing website (security issue with Chrome, Windows, MS), or "you're an automatic AT&T winner" requiring me to stop the app in task manager uninstalled DSS V5 uninstalled PC Speed Enhancer restored system to pre-DSS download have run multiple times, AdwCleaner, Junkware Removal Tool (JRT).Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and HitmanPro. Have also now run rdkill and tdsskiller Have now run Farbar Recovery and aswMBR but did not apply the FixMBR yet.
