Hey, so i've gotten this malware and i know what program caused it but i deleted it and have no clue now, sorry :/ But the main issue is, as i said i cleaned it with Adwcleaner and it finds it and removes it (I'm certain that's it but when i restart chrome it "re-installs" itself. Also I've used FRST but i don't know how useful it will be as i'm puzzled whether it worked or not Now enough from the cryptic talk.
it's under
C:\Users\my user\Appdata\local\google\chrome\user data\default\secure preferences
inside the file (opened with notepad++)
this is the culprit:
plnkhmnoajbfccclonaeepohggeolcih (more details in uploaded logs)
Also, over time due to the popups it also installs some random tinytask thing + uk.ask.com or whatever search provider (also in logs)
Now, as i mentioned above i've checked installed programs and services and found nothing out of the place. I have no clue how the hell should i go about fixing this as its a nasty malware that doesnt wanna get removed. The only sites i found relating to this issue are spanish and the forums even with translate didnt help much so i'm here to ask for some help! Thanks for anything in advance
