Virus Residue

[phonyamerican]

I have had a recurring astromenda virus hit my chrome browser periodically for the past few months.
I clean it out with ADW and Malwarebytes, and the scans turn up clean, but after a couple weeks it is back again.
I used Hitman Pro to see if there was anything the ADW was not picking up and it found some PC optimizer files in my registry. I wonder if this is the reason I get this recurring malware.
Do you have instructions on how to remove this threat manually, or any advice otherwise?
Thank you.

Fix with Farbar Recovery Scan Tool

This fix was created for this user for use on that particular machine.

Running it on another one may cause damage and render the system unstable.

​

Download attached fixlist.txt file and save it to the Desktop:

Both files, FRST and fixlist.txt have to be in the same location or the fix will not work!

• Right-click on
  
  icon and select
  
  Run as Administrator to start the tool.
  (XP users click run after receipt of Windows Security Warning - Open File).
• Press the Fix button just once and wait.
• If for some reason the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally. After that let the tool complete its run.
• When finished FRST will generate a log on the Desktop, called Fixlog.txt.

Please attach it to your reply.
