Please help me get rid of these viruses, and advise me on what I can do to keep new ones from coming. I was told that there are good virus protections for free, but I don't know anything about this....

Thank you!
Gina

I was able to take some screen shots of the 7 Home Search pages that pop up when I open Chrome. 3 are Delta. The only one I want is Google. I have had the Iminent virus for a couple of months now and have not been able to get rid of it. Also the one that says "Search." IDK what that one is named. Anyway, I will attach all the screenshots below. Thank you for anything you can do to help me.

Hi and welcome to the malwaretips.com forums!

I'm Kuttus and I am going to try to assist you with your problem. Please take note of the below:
  • I will start working on your malware issues, this may or may not, solve other issues you have with your machine.
  • The fixes are specific to your problem and should only be used for this issue on this machine!
  • The process is not instant. Please continue to review my answers until I tell you your machine is clear. Absence of symptoms does not mean that everything is clear.
  • If you don't know, stop and ask! Don't keep going on.
  • Please reply to this thread. Do not start a new topic.
  • Refrain from running self fixes as this will hinder the malware removal process.
  • It may prove beneficial if you print of the following instructions or save them to notepad as I post them.
Your security programs may give warnings for some of the tools I will ask you to use. Be assured, any links I give are safe.


Before we start:
Please be aware that removing malware is a potentially hazardous undertaking. I will take care not to knowingly suggest courses of action that might damage your computer. However it is impossible for me to foresee all interactions that may happen between the software on your computer and those we'll use to clear you of infection, and I cannot guarantee the safety of your system. It is possible that we might encounter situations where the only recourse is to re-format and re-install your operating system, or to necessitate you taking your computer to a repair shop.

Because of this, I advise you to backup any personal files and folders before you start.
<hr />

STEP 1: Run a scan with AdwCleaner

<ol><li>Download AdwCleaner from the below link.

Ok, I did note see adware.exe when I ran the program. But I did this the other day, and so I just clicked "Scan." I did not see anything that said "Delete," as I will show you in the screenshot attached. I tried to exit the program, since there was nothing to see, but a window popped up and told me to run "Clean." So I did. Then it prompted me to allow the computer to restart, and a report was generated, which I will also attach. I am stopping here because I need for you to confirm what I've already done, since I have doubts that I did it right. Should I go on to Step 2?

Okay. Please follow the other 2 scan also.

Ok, I clicked on the 2nd one, and there was no unzipped file to click on. After the download, I clicked once on the icon, and the program opened. I clicked Update and the Scan, and it said "Congratulations! No cleanup is required. Scan finished. No malware found!"

I will attach the JRT text file and follow the 3rd step. No need to reply yet. I just wanted to post this slight discrepancy as I go. I will continue this post after the next step.

Ok, my system did not reboot, as there was supposedly nothing to clean up, nor was there a second log report. I found where the Malware Antiroot kit had made a folder on my desktop and I opened it. But I did not see an Mbar.exe file. I took a screenshot of the entire contents of the folder. I see an mbar alone, but I'm not sure if that's the one. Please tell me what to do next.
BTW, the virus is still there because when I opened my Chrome to post this reply, all 7 search Homepages opened again. :(

Ok, I ran the scan, but only one report generated. I will attach. At the bottom of the thread, you wrote, "Settings you need to select in OTL." Is that AFTER the scan I just did or was that supposed to be before? I'm confused now.

I have a Windows 8 tablet. I do have a "Print Screen" in blue on my f12 button, but it doesn't do anything. I took a picture with my snipping tool, though. It looks just the same as it did when I started.
