Hello,
I was searching for some file on internet. I found one. Before I opened it, I uploaded it to VirSCAN.org and it told me, the file is clean. So I opened it on my computer, it was not my program and it installed adware on my computer. I had these symtoms:
(1) When I typed to google bar, a toolbar opened and all the letters were there. I had to close the toolbar everytime
(2) Popup windows sometimes appeared
(3) When I opened Firefox, with all my old tabs, also one new opened with ads
(4) When I open a page in a new tab or window, and I put my mouse on a hyperlink it does not change to little hand cursor, but it still looks the same. When I click, the whole screen blinks and firefox says it blocked a popup windows trying to direct to tradeadexchange.com
After all these problems I runned AdwCleaner and it solved the problem number (3). I also reinstaled my browser. I had no time to keep solving, so kept using my browser. Today I decided to solve it.
I runned AdwCleaner, then Malwarbytes Anti-Malware, then HitManPro and Zemana AntiMalware. It found few things and everything seem to be much better. ALL the problems are solved exept the problem number (4).
Always, the first click on a new page blinks add try to open a popup window. It is very anoying. Please, give me any advice, I will be VERY grateful.
PS: I can not send FRST log. When I open it, it is searching for updates, then a small window appears saying it is updated. Then it closes itsefl, opens again and the whole process goes again and again and again in the circle.
PPS: I can not find button "upload" anywhere so I will first post this and then try to upload some of them after.
Thank you for your help!
