Hello,
I've been getting virus popups on my browsers lately, I tried using the malware removal guide this site has. But the "virus" still wasn't detected no matter what I did.
I also used: Windows Defender quick scan, BitDefender 2017 Full System Scan, Malwarebytes threat scan and full system scan (scanned all drives), RogueKiller (detected some PUMs and removed it but the popups were still there), Junkware Removal tool, all of the tools listed How to easily clean an infected computer (Malware Removal Guide) here (including Zemana Anti-malware), used MalwareBytes anti-rootkit tool even. Some of these scans were done in safe mode w/ networking aswell.
But the popup would still appear, it appears on my Internet Explorer and Steam Browser which don't have adblock on them, it doesn't seem to appear on Chrome though (as I have AdBlock installed on them, might explain why). I still feel unsafe with the popups so I'd love to get it removed if it's possible.
I don't know if this is important but I also saw a suspicious looking program/service in task manager called "7-zip standalone console" while I do NOT use 7-zip at all, when google'd I found Have a PUP that poses as a 7-zip standalone console in control manager. - Am I infected? What do I do? on the first results, so I have been feeling really paranoid about all of this lately.
I'd really appreciate any help I could get with this, thank you for taking your time reading.
