My problem will most likley be able to be solved by a genius cpu tech person.
Ok, here is the scenario. After reading about AVAST security I decided to download it
from CNET downloads.com and also Malwarebytes and Driver Booster and also the IOU Uninstaller (green icon). I ran everything and everything was perfect
My computer was actually faster. Here comes the problem #1: I decided to also download
a GIF to JPEG converter from cnet. Now during the installation I may have clicked (but I am not really sure that I did becasue
I read all of my prompts) I may have clicked to download YTDownloader. I saw the icon on
my desktop and wanted to uninstall it.
1. Tried control pannel uninstall, did not work
2. Tried the IO Powerful Uninstaller thing, did not work.
3. Tried ADWCleaner. did not work.
4. Tried Junkware Removal tool, did not work.
5. I tried to activate Huntermode from another program (forgot which one it was) which lets
you pin point the targeted icon (YTDownloader in my case). HERE IS WHERE IT GETS INSANE!
So I move the Huntermode "sniper reticle" over to the YTDownloader icon and click delete.
It seems to be uninstalling it. However for some reason, I ended up uninstalling my ADOBE!
Yes, it seems that it transfered the target to ADOBE instead itself or something.
I was like NO WAY! So I tried again, hunter mode, sclick on YTDownloader icon, and BOOM again
it selected another different program to be deleted. ( which I didnt because I noticed it)
At this point I gave up. I could not go back even on my System Restore(because the earliestversion for some reason had it too
(my earlier version of my back up was for some reason exactly after i donwloaded YTDownloader)
So now I could NO LONGER GO ONLINE. Yes, I opened google, explorer, and get the messege about a
proxy server something. So I read up online (on my phone) about how to fix it (the proxy thing). I went into
Registry and managed to sucessfully remove the problem from Proxyand Internet WORKED AGAIN.
I also tried to delete the Registry that had YTDownloader folder and its sub components, and I rebooted several times.
BUT NOTHING CHANGED the icon was still on my desktop.
Then I downloaded HITMAN PRO. Hitman Pro did it's scan and I did everything and it found like 126 YTDownloader things,
I removed it and rebooted. Upon START uP YTDOWNLOADER was finally GONE! BUT HERE IS
THE PROBLEM:
AVAST KEEPS FINDING WIN32:Adware-gen (ADW) and placing it in the VISRUS CHEST.It finds 2 at a time.
And in 30 min there are like 8 of them in there. I chose to delete them but they keep re-appearing.
I CAN NOT GET RID OF it or find this WIN32:Adware-gen (ADW). Why is AVAST Continuing to find it when
no other program is finding it (I mean I believe Avast is right and it is there but why, is it linked
to YTDownloader?)
PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO GET RID OF THIS thing. I will POST the exact details where it is being found (like Username/apps/temp/ etc) later on.
My laptop is a HP Pavillion A6 I think. ANY HELP FROM A TRUE GENIOUS WOULD BE SO MUCH
APPRICIATED!
