Hi, I've encountered a really annoying malware that keeps on redirecting my google omnibox, first to "Extension.citypage.today" then to bing. It's happens quite frequently and it is very annoying. I have tried many other measures to try to fix it, including resetting Chrome settings multiple times. This never works and I am baffled at why it keeps on lingering within my PC. Thanks

NOTE: This pesky malware is also messing with my antivirus software where it is disabling features and services required to run the antivirus

Download attached fixlist.txt file and save it to the Desktop:

Both files, FRST and fixlist.txt have to be in the same location or the fix will not work!

  • Right-click on
    FRST.gif
    icon and select
    RunAsAdmin.jpg
    Run as Administrator to start the tool.
    (XP users click run after receipt of Windows Security Warning - Open File).
  • Press the Fix button just once and wait.
  • If for some reason the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally. After that let the tool complete its run.
  • When finishes FRST will generate a log on the Desktop, called Fixlog.txt.

Please attach it to your reply.
