Are you still getting it in Chrome ? DO you have chrome set to synch ?

Post by: mikaelrask on September 29, 2015, 09:06:51 AM

hey see essexboys first replay to you. please follow his instruction and run the fix he have posted for you:)

Title: Re: Yourtv malware
Post by: hamzamb on October 01, 2015, 02:38:32 PM

yes I am signed into chrome

Title: Re: Yourtv malware
Post by: essexboy on October 01, 2015, 04:13:08 PM

OK then each time you start chrome it will download it again. We need to stop the synch and then clean it up again

1. I need you to go Google Sync (https://www.google.com/settings/chrome/sync) and sign into your account
2. Scroll down until you see the "Stop and Clear" button and click on the button. At the prompt click on "Ok"

Then run a fresh FRST scan

Hi,

Sorry about that here is the new scan.

Hamza.

How is chrome behaving now ?

Title: Re: Yourtv malware
Post by: hamzamb on October 07, 2015, 06:38:16 AM

chrome is still using that custom search. In settings that search engine is set as default and when I try to change, it says "this setting has been enforced by your administrator". see attached image. thanks

Title: Re: Yourtv malware
Post by: essexboy on October 07, 2015, 04:52:57 PM

That search setting states that it is set to Google. do you wish to change that ?

Please download Junkware Removal Tool (http://downloads.malwarebytes.org/file/jrt) to your desktop.

Right-mouse click JRT.exe and select "Run as Administrator" the tool will open and start scanning your system
please be patient as this can take a while to complete depending on your system's specifications
On completion, a log (JRT.txt) is saved to your desktop and will automatically open.
post the contents of JRT.txt into your next message.

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:

Remove tools

Download and run Delfix (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/delfix/)
Select the options as shown
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73555776/delfix.JPG)

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

CryptoPrevent (http://www.foolishit.com/vb6-projects/cryptoprevent/) install this programme to lock down and prevent crypto ransome ware

(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73555776/CryptoPrevent.JPG)

Malwarebytes (http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam-download.php)

Update and run weekly to keep your system clean

Unchecky (http://unchecky.com)

Click on the link above to be taken to Unchecky.com
click the very large Download button.
click Save
Click Open folder
Right click on the Unchecky_setup and choose to Run as Administrator
Once open click the Install button.
Then click on Finish
Unchecky is now installed and will help you keep unwanted check boxes unchecked, this is a fire and forget programme ;)

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

To learn more about how to protect yourself while on the internet read this little guide Best security practices (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/407147/answers-to-common-security-questions-best-practices/)Keep safe :wave:
