Solved Overwhelmed by malware (weevah2, nova.ramber.ru, trovi, etc)

[katabolik]

Hi all,

Thanks in advance for your help. My situation is as described above. Currently running Windows 10 64bit. Began noticing problems on Chrome where my homepage would look funny (additional search bar appearing, all my favorited webpages gone), then being re-directed to various websites with urls beginning with weevah2, trovi, nova.rambler.ru, and a few others. I knew immediately I had some issues with malware/viruses. I was currently running Avast at that time. Downloaded Malwarebytes, Adwcleaner, AVG, and Zemana and followed their recommendations re: quarantining and deleting files. Still ongoing problems as described above.

I've attached FRST.txt, Addition.txt, and logs from the other scans.

Any help would be appreciated!

Hello,

In which browser is this happening?

 

[katabolik]

This is happening in chrome

 

[TwinHeadedEagle]

Did you try to reinstall it?

 

[katabolik]

No but I can give that a try.

Will that solve the underlying problem though?

 

[TwinHeadedEagle]

I think it should. Try and let me know.

haven't noticed any symptoms for a few days. decided to uninstall/reinstall chrome anyway. so far so good.

just wondering 1)why things would have just settled down seemingly without me doing anything, and 2) possibility of underlying/dormant malware still infecting my computer?

thanks!

No, they are not dormant, sometimes Chrome cache and components needed to work get infected beyond repair.
