Harrassing pop-up : onlinesecuritymetere.in

[REDACTED]

Hello community,

I'm having this problem (as described in the title) others already posted about in previous messages, but as you need to know the info about my own machine, here it goes :

Using Windows 7 64-bits, Avast version : 2014.9.0.2021

I did the Farbar scan and I attached the FRST.txt file.


I hope you can help me, it's really getting extremely annoying.

Thank you !

Hi again,

Here's the AdwCleaner log.

(still getting the pop-ups)

[REDACTED]

Reset your browser.

[REDACTED]

I followed the instructions, but I only have a "Refresh" button (see attachment). I don't know if it's the same, but I did it.

The pop-ups are still popping, they are totally independent from my internet browser I think.

What I have been doing before to be able to work without interruption, is I go to the task manager and kill the "explorer.exe" process. Then it stops.

[REDACTED]

Yes, click on the 'Refresh Firefox' button.

What I have been doing before to be able to work without interruption, is I go to the task manager and kill the "explorer.exe" process. Then it stops.

Let us eliminate the general possibilities first. Since you mentioned that killing "explorer.exe" process is stopping the pop-up, I would ask you to re-run FRST.exe and type explorer.exe in the search box. Click on "Search Files" and attach the log when done.

[REDACTED]

Here's the Search log.

PS : I had already hit the refresh button
