Win64:Adware-gen infection
« on: April 03, 2017, 01:41:32 PM »
Hi,

Avast Premier keeps reporting in a pop-up that a threat has been blocked "Win64:Adware.gen (adw) but there does not seem to be any way for Avast to remove this.When I run a scan then nothing is detected - including boot scan.

I have run Malwarebytes and nothing is detected: log attached



I have run FRST : logs attached

I have run aswMBR ; logs attached

How can I get rid of this virus please!!!

Many thanks
Lita

That is not avast popup warning ....

anyway, try clear your temp folders with this

TFC - Temp File Cleaner by OldTimer  >>  http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/files/file/187-tfc-temp-file-cleaner-by-oldtimer/


Any change?

We did, but uninstalled it a while ago.

Thanks very much for that link. I have followed it through and ADW has caught x2 files, so hopefully that's it!
