Just upgraded from Free Avast and things are worse.

Consumer Products > Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security (legacy Pro Antivirus, Internet Security, Premier)

<< < (2/4) > >>

SpeedAgent:
I have the path- the malware was removed yesterday by SpyHunter, but it is back this morning. Avast still did not see it. Here is the path:

C:\Users\ChrisM\Appdata\Local\Google\Chrome\UserData\Default\WebData:mywebsearch.com

If anyone can be of assistance it would be very helpful. My pointer/scroll stopped working again so I assumed I had a bug and ran spyware- yep, it was back.

browser hijacker, try this
run AdwCleaner..... click delete.... post log here
you find it here http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=53253.0

to check for any leftovers, also attach a OTL diagnostic log

essexboy:
Websearch is not classified as a virus but as a PUP, as believe it or not some people install that voluntarily, and they would get annoyed if Avast removed it

SpeedAgent:
I did the AdwCleaner and restarted and the MyWebSearch.com came back. I ran spyhunter again and it removed it then I sent Enigma (spyhunter developer) a support ticket to see if there was something they could do. I'm assuming every time I open my browser it will return.

essexboy:
I could have a look if you wish.. What browser is it in .. If FF are you synching it with an online backup ?
