Yes I somehow managed to get my pc infected again, but this time its a bit different. The infection isn't crippling my pc , it doesn't stop me in my tracks in other words like uh oh . Worst thing that has happened so far is just my ie 11 being hijacked with some credit card ads , and then followed by my two browsers being denied access...Palemoon and ie 11. Some control panel icons have been altered for a second , that is about as much as I have noticed off hand. So for some reason I thought I got rid of everything that could have been the source of the issue with Avast in full scan mode , rogue k. , and using a command prompt in emergency mode to fix corrupted files. Of coarse the issue persists being malware as it is.
So in a situation like this where there obviously is some kind of remnant somewhere either in my registry or elsewhere like a backdoor or something , how does one stop something from spreading or re accuring without having to do a clean reinstall of windows? Should I re configure my settings in comodo and take out Avast with something else? Or pile on more software programs to address it . Windows Registry is sensitive enough as it is , and seems like its fairly easy to spot sometimes stuff that isn't right , but then again virus total, and other scanners seem to lack a ability to thoroughly scan the registry in a way to address this and the tools out there just don't seem to lock down the registry enough or right. Shadow defender is too intrusive and difficult to manage with a system always needing to make or adjust changes/things within it in my opinion. I run voodoo shield , comodo a/v / firewall and avast with max settings, k-9 web filter, hitman pro alert, sandboxie, and a ton of third opinion scanners. I love the config now and I seem to not want to let it go . Any ideas? Thanks .
