[QUOTE="Lugh, post: 192516, member: 22084"] April 30th, 2014. I've had a similar infection before and couldn't find a solution so I re-installed my OS, and less than a month later it's back. New tab pop-ups occur constantly in google chome. Some of them start automatic downloads of a file called "player-chrome.exe", and others tell me my codec needs updating. I have tried many different free malware removal programs such as spybot search & destroy, malwarebytes, Hitman Pro (trial), CCleaner, Spyhunter, Junkware removal tool. Things were found in some of these, but none fixed the problem, and now none of them find any threats on my machine. Any help would be much appreciated. I don't want to re-install my OS all the time.
