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 />

Before we start may I confirm that you are facing this particular issue in Google Chrome only?

If so go to the following link in Google Chrome.

Code:
chrome://chrome/extensions/

It will open one page which will show all the Extensions and Addons installed on our Google Chrome...

Over there you can see a list of Addons like

  • Google Translate
    YouTube
    wxDfast
    Google Search
    AdBlock
    Window Close Protector
    Gmail Etc

You need to remove the Addon for wxDfast
In the Right side of that one you can see one Recycle Bin Icon.

Click on that one to Remove the Addon.

After that you need to go to the History Tab in Google Chrome. For that copy and Paste the following code in Google Chrome Address Bar. Or Click on the History Tab in Google Chrome

Code:
chrome://chrome/history/

We need to remove all the browser data history from Google Chrome now. For that Click on the Button "Clear All Browsing Data"

Now you will see a Window Like this.

If there is no important data in your Google Chrome like Saved Passwords, Autofill Form Data etc remove all the browsing history from the Beginning time itself... For that click on "Clear Browsing Data."

Now Close your Google Chrome Completely and open it again.

Try to use the Google Chrome once again and check if everything is working fine....

What's next?

Let me know if you had any problems with the above instructions and also <>let me know how things are running now!</>

Hi,

wxDfast Seems to be a AdWare and it will send lots of Advertisement pop ups in our browser.... This one will get installed in our web browsers through any other software's or applications that we downloading from the Internet. As in your case this one will be get installed as Addons in our browser..

Code:
CHR - Extension: wxDfast = C:\Users\kishore\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions\cmebbaagkcgafihjgfiogjgaopnichme\1.0_0\
CHR - Extension: wxDfast = C:\Users\kishore\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions\enbkmjkbdgihifpdhichdpdpacjkpoag\1.0_0\

The above code are the locations of the infected file related with this Addons. We can delete them in 2 way..

1. We can remove them manually
2. We can remove them using OTL.

We can simply delete this infected files, fir that Open C Drive and got to the location
Code:
C:\Users\kishore\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions

Over there you can see some folders. Delete the following folders, if it is there.

Code:
cmebbaagkcgafihjgfiogjgaopnichme
enbkmjkbdgihifpdhichdpdpacjkpoag

If you are not able to see it leave them...

There is one another good software with the same name. wxDownload Fast (also known as wxDFast)...

<hr />

In the link that you have provided we can't download the Document using IDM.
http://www.ziddu.com/download/10574023/7downloadtamilmovie-ChiyaaN-www.uyirvani.com.avi.006.html
Because in this page there is no direct download link for the document you are looking for is available.

If we click on the Download butting then only the download will begin.

IDM will not do that automatically. That is why you are not able to download the file using IDM....

<hr />

What's next?

Let me know if you had any problems and also <>let me know how things are running now!</>
