While using Google Chrome for Windows, I get a fake alert telling me to call a number so Microsoft engineers can help me remove Trojan Spyware. Ads.fiancetrack.dll appears. Can you help?

I'm not sure if I did the Farbar scan correctly; I had a lot of trouble because Chrome kept trying to block it, telling me it's dangerous. Hope these files are the right ones, and you can determine what's going on. Thanks!

Comment: Use Farbar routine to delete temp files
C:\Windows\Temp\*.*
C:\WINDOWS\system32\*.tmp
C:\WINDOWS\syswow64\*.tmp
C:\Program Files (x86)\Temp\*.tmp

Comment: The system will restart.
Reboot:

End


Save the file as fixlist.txt in the same folder where the Farbar tool is running from.
The location is listed in the 3rd line of the Farbar log you have submitted.

Run FRST and click Fix only once and wait.

The tool will create a log (Fixlog.txt) please post it to your reply.
===

If you have any issues with this computer I need to see the FRST.TXT log that would be in the same folder as the Farbar program.
Please post it or attach it to your next reply.


Please post the Fixlog.txt.
