Greetings, MalwareTips.
As noted in "Infection date and initial symptoms" and "Current issues and symptoms", I have experienced two redirects to Chrome's supposed Annual Visitor Survey 2016 on websites where such redirects or pop-ups have never occurred to me before.
The redirect seems to go through a good dozen of websites which you don't even notice unless you right-click the "back" button. At least some are listed in Chrome's history though:
I've run Adwcleaner twice but nothing outstanding was detected.
Malwarebytes is up-to-date but never detects anything.
HitmanPro detected mostly tracking cookies and something about delta-search that was quickly resolved by removing it with "manage search engines" in the Chrome settings.
The Chrome Cleanup Tool didn't detect anything either.
An FRST log file has been attached to this post. Maybe one of the qualified members manages to find anything suspicious. I encountered an error when trying to upload the Addition.txt, so let me know if you need that one and I'll try again in a reply.
Thank you in advance.
