Ads by dns unlocker keep appearing in my chrome browser and giving me many pops up. I check and cleared all my chrome extension but nothing helps. use hitman pro to remove some of the suspicious programme but the problem still persists. i have uploaded the scan report as attached. Thanks in advance for the help.

Hello,


Please download Zemana AntiMalware and save it to your Desktop.
  • Install the program and once the installation is complete it will start automatically.
  • Without changing any options, press Scan to begin.
  • After the short scan is finished, if threats are detected press Next to remove them.
Note: If restart is required to finish the cleaning process, you should click Reboot. If reboot isn't required, please restart your computer manually.
  • Open Zemana AntiMalware again.
  • Click on

    icon and double click the latest report.
  • Now click File > Save As and choose your Desktop before pressing Save.
  • The only left thing is to attach saved report in your next message.

Hi,
My laptop seems fine at the moment, does not have any more issues with the DNSUnlocker Malware on Chrome Browser. It seems that it have been removed after the FarBar recovery tool. Do you have any idea which programme or malware that had been removed solved this problem? So maybe i could avoid or delete the malware that appeared next time round. Thanks for the help.

It wasn't removed by Farbar because we only used its Scan options. Some malware settings were removed by Zemana AntiMalware.
