I'm having constant chitka popups that my Malwarebytes didn't get rid of (see log below).  If other anti-malware programs are required, could you please direct me to a safe place where I can download them?  Thanks!

Apparently, I did something wrong.  After the second scan (which took almost as long as the first), only the OTL.Txt window opened, and I didn't see any Extras.Txt, either as a notepad pop-up or in the place where the OTL was saved.  Also, when I attempted to post the log from the OTL.Txt notepad with this message, I was given the "exceeds 10,000 characters" error message.  I apologize for my incompetence and would be extremely grateful for any further direction and/or correction.  Thank you!

Could you attach the main log please
Title: Re: chitka pop ups
Post by: RilesHog on April 06, 2013, 12:14:13 AM
The log from the initial scan (the one before pasting your info into the Custom Scan box) contains in excess of 54,000 characters, so it's triggering the "in excess of 10,000" error message.  The log from the scan after pasting your info contains in excess of 100,000 characters.  Which log do you want and how should I circumvent the error message, if at all?  Thanks.

you need to attach the OTL.txt log....not copy and paste

Post by: RilesHog on April 06, 2013, 03:00:24 PM
Sorry about that.  The first attachment should be the log from the scan run after I pasted your info into the Custom Scan Box, and the second attachment should be the log from the initial scan.  Hope this is what you need.  Thank you very much.

Hmm lets see which AV would I recommend ... Avast I think would be a good one  ;D

Select Custom install to determine what elements you want. Direct download link http://files.avast.com/iavs5x/avast_free_antivirus_setup.exe
If you need any help with the set up just holler


Subject to no further problems   :)

I will remove my tools now and give some recommendations, but, I would like you to run for 24 hours or so and come back if you have any problems 

Now the best part of the day ----- Your log now appears clean  :thumbsup:

A good workman always cleans up after himself so..The following will implement some cleanup procedures as well as reset  System Restore points:

Run OTL and hit the cleanup button.  It will remove all the programmes we have used plus itself. 

Clear Restore Points

Go Start > All Programmes > Accessories > System tools
Right click Disc Cleanup and select run as administrator
When it pops up at the first prompt select OK after it has done some calculations the tabs will appear
Select More Options tab
Press Sytem Restore and Shadow Copies Cleanup button

: Keep Java Updated :

WARNING: Java is the #1 exploited program at this time. The Department of Homeland Security recommends that computer users disable Java
See this article (http://www.forbes.com/sites/eliseackerman/2013/01/11/us-department-of-homeland-security-calls-on-computer-users-to-disable-java/) and this article (http://www.nbcnews.com/technology/technolog/us-warns-java-software-security-concerns-escalate-1B7938755).
I would recommend that you completely uninstall Java unless you need it to run an important software.
In that instance I would recommend that you disable Java in your browsers until you need it for that software and then enable it. (See How to diasble Java in your web browser (http://www.geekstogo.com/2600/how-to-disable-java-in-your-web-browser/) and How to unplug Java from the browser (http://krebsonsecurity.com/how-to-unplug-java-from-the-browser/))

Now that you are clean, to help protect your computer in the future I recommend that you get the following free programmes:

(http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/7729/mbamicontw5.gif) Malwarebytes (http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam-download.php).

Update and run weekly to keep your system clean

Download and install FileHippo update checker (http://www.filehippo.com/updatechecker/) and run it monthly it will show you which programmes on your system need updating and give a download link

If you use on-line banking then as an added layer of protection install Trusteer Rapport  (http://www.trusteer.com/Products/Trusteer-Rapport-for-Online-Banking)

It is critical to have both a firewall and anti virus to protect your system and to keep them updated.
