Laptop Possibly Compromised ??
« on: April 24, 2021, 01:44:00 PM »
on March my mom asking me to open a webinar on a legitimate website i didnt notice i misclick a malicious adware the browser did stop it at first because of certificate i guess but becasue my mother is late and making me to hurry up for the webinar and i know its a legitimate website i continued it redirected to another site then lots of colordialog popups

at that time i was still using the mcaffee lifesave trial that came with the laptop it was able to block something but there still popup
and the adware is design only to show when your cursor is near on the menu and can easily be misclick if its a little higher
browser extension at that time was mcaffee webadvisor, ghostery, comodo onlinesecurity (i didnt installed noscript on my moms useraccount) spywareblaster was also installed if it matter and comodo securedns

after that i did full scan of mcaffeee, malwarebytes, superantyspyware, comodo cleaning esentials, windows defender nothing was found

i only installed avast free when mcafee was nearing end of trial did fullscan before installing avast

I noticed  browsers (and one time windows update already gone)  having managed by organization even though its a personal laptop

Just Recently searching in google for this laptop im getting this msg

Edit

There used to be many qualified malware removal specialists in the past - however the numbers seeking help in the Avast forums was much reduced.  So most now work from other malware removal sites to keep abreast with developments.

The link given by Pondus is one such site.
