Need Assistance, multiple fake google chrome processes

[ScottDW]

First noticed on 10/30/2014, in the volume mixer there were anywhere from 3 to 4 different Google Chrome volume bars displayed, all muted. If unmuted, the audio of an ad could be heard. When Task Manager was opened, there were multiple processes (orazjsv.exe) that were running, anywhere from 4 to 12 at any given time.

Tracing the folder to where orazjsv.exe is installed, I deleted the entire folder in Safe Mode only to have it reinstall in a different location once Windows was restarted. So far everytime I have deleted it, it has been from an existing folder in the AppData folder under my username, particularly a folder within the LocalLow folder. I have run Malwarebytes, Norton AV, and CCleaner. Currently I also have my firewall set to block the program from sending or receiving data.

2. Save notepad as fixlist.txt to your Desktop.
NOTE: => It's important that both files, FRST and fixlist.txt are in the same location or the fix will not work.
3. Run FRST/FRST64 and press the Fix button just once and wait.
If the tool needed a restart please make sure you let the system to restart normally and let the tool completes its run after restart.
The tool will make a log on the Desktop (Fixlog.txt). Please attach it to your reply.
Note: If the tool warned you about the outdated version please download and run the updated version.

Hi Argus,
I just implemented your fix. Thanks a ton! It worked perfectly. No more Google Chrome showing in my volume mixer and no more random processes showing in task manager.

I do have one question for you though, since this malware was seemingly masquerading as a legitimate program (ie. Google Chrome), how can I prevent reinfection? None of my existing security tools caught it...

I do not know, Chrome is under attack now.
Be careful what you install.

=> Please download DelFix by Xplode to your Desktop.
