[QUOTE="Zecha, post: 863157, member: 86239"] Hello MalwareTips forum! This is my first time on this forum and I want to say that I dont know many things about viruses, malwares etc. So in November/December 2019 I tried to search on Google for Top 5 best Electric Band Strips (or how is called) and I found the first website, I accessed and clicked on a button that says something about find this product and should go to a big Online Website for Shopping in my country. Was a website with reviews about band strips for Gym. So I accessed that website on my PC where I just deleted Bitdefender Total Security 2019 or 2020 with 2-3 days before to access the site. Everything looks ok. Now I wanted to search for the same site on my phone, I did that and after I clicked the button right to the product to find the product, I got a message on my phone that I have 5 or 10 mins to pay a tax to get the malware/virus away from my phone. After few days or weeks I got emails with different accounts about code verification, suspect activity on my yahoo mail etc. And every 1-3 weeks I received these emails. Nothing was stoled yet. Now today when I woke up I received 3 emails from Yahoo that says about a Code Verification and that I want to access the account from Vietnam. I bought a high end PC in August 2019 and I have lag spikes on games that I should not have with this pc. I tried different things to do. I downloaded anti malwarebytes trial for 14 days, I scanned on both safe mode and normal mode and I found 25-35 files every 2-3 hours I scanned. Malwarebytes I used after Rogue Killer. I used HitmanPro, semana or something. So every 2-4 hours or something like that, I could find almost same infected files, I deleted them and reappear until I was going to my Google Account and put the sync to off and after malwarebytes didnt found anything suspicious. I tried the program in 7-10 different days and still 0 infected files. Im not sure if is because the off-sync and deleted all the data from the google account or pure coincidence. I reinstalled windows on my PC about 2-3 times since November/December but I think the problem is that the USB Stick was made on my infected PC. Should I try to make one from one of my friends PC? How should I proceed in this case? I sent emails to Yahoo, they gave me solutions few months ago, I tried them but I still receive suspicious emails from different accounts and from Yahoo. Thanks! I hope I can do something about this. [/QUOTE]
