Inactive-A Ingrained popups

[The1Leon]

I cannot run any browser for the popups that constantly come up. Frequently they will grab some word on the screen and give me two boxes with something related to those words. I also get another window popup with random garbage.

The worst is Torch, I cannot even go to my pages without it going to a Yahoo search that says that it does not exist. Yahoo is not even an option for my search engines.

Something disabled my windows Defender, perhaps it was the Ad-Aware or another anti-virus program that I have been using to try and root out the problem.

I disabled everything that Malwarebytes found and rebooted to no avail.
I got rid of everything but the cookies that Ad-Aware found.

Every other instruction for this forum says upload .txt files created, the alternate one says uploads will be ignored. Please advise.

[The1Leon]

Ad-Aware is still running. 4.5 hours and it is going through drive f: right now.

 

[Broni]

Some items in your MBAM log say "No action taken".
Re-run MBAM, fix ALL issues and post new log.

I strongly suggest you uninstall Lavasoft Ad-Aware and you switch to some stronger AV program.
Install ONE of these:

- Avast! free antivirus: http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html

- free Microsoft Security Essentials: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-GB/windows/products/security-essentials
Note for Windows 8 users: Microsoft Security Essentials comes preinstalled and renamed as Windows Defender.
You can keep it or you have to disable it before installing another AV program. How to...

- free Comodo Antivirus: http://www.comodo.com/home/internet-security/antivirus.php

Update, run full scan, report on any findings.

 

[The1Leon]

Thank you. The "No action taken" item is one that I have had for many years. I own Chessbase 10 but it will not run if the primary person who installed it is not logged on. This dates back to WinXP, the last decent OS from Legion (my word for the demons from MS who need to be cast out of our personal computing). I had been using AVG antivirus. This garbage slipped through. I'll try the Comodo. Ad-Aware is currently going through drive G:. That is where I install almost all my programs that do not absolutely need to be run from drive C:. Drive D: is where I have Win7. If WinXP had the drivers necessary for this PC I would use it in a heartbeat.

 

[Broni]

The "No action taken" item is one that I have had for many years.

Fine.

When you're done with Adaware scan, uninstalling and installing Comodo run Comodo full scan.

Then....

Download RogueKiller for 32bit or Roguekiller for 64bit to your Desktop.

• Close all the running programs
• Windows Vista/7 users: right click on RogueKiller.exe, click Run as Administrator
• Otherwise just double-click on RogueKiller.exe
• Pre-scan will start. Let it finish.
• Click on SCAN button.
• Wait until the Status box shows Scan Finished
• Click on Delete.
• Wait until the Status box shows Deleting Finished.
• Click on Report and copy/paste the content of the Notepad into your next reply.
• RKreport.txt could also be found on your desktop.
• If more than one log is produced post all logs.
• If RogueKiller has been blocked, do not hesitate to try a few times more. If really won't run, rename it to winlogon.exe (or winlogon.com) and try again

Create new restore point before proceeding with the next step....

- Windows 8: http://www.vikitech.com/11302/system-restore-windows-8
- Windows 7: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/3195/create-a-system-restore-point-in-windows-7/
- Vista: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/wind...tore-point-for-windows-vistas-system-restore/
- XP: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/948247

Download Malwarebytes Anti-Rootkit (MBAR) from HERE

• Unzip downloaded file.
• Open the folder where the contents were unzipped and run mbar.exe
• Follow the instructions in the wizard to update and allow the program to scan your computer for threats.
• Click on the Cleanup button to remove any threats and reboot if prompted to do so.
• Wait while the system shuts down and the cleanup process is performed.
• Perform another scan with Malwarebytes Anti-Rootkit to verify that no threats remain. If they do, then click Cleanup once more and repeat the process.
• When done, please post the two logs produced they will be in the MBAR folder..... mbar-log-xxxxx.txt and system-log.txt

 

[The1Leon]

Give me a couple of hours and I'll tell you how Comodo and the Antt-rootkit work out. I downloaded a series of programs like SUPERAntiSpyware, SpyHunter, and Spybotsd-2.1.21-SR2. Ad-Aware was my 1st attempt after MalwareBytes did not find the cause.

 

[Broni]

 

[The1Leon]

Okay, tomorrow I'm gonna try the Malwarebytes rootkit. I tried the Roguekiller already. Then I'm gonna bounce it off the "GeekBuddy". I had Comodo a year or so back and most often I had to teach the Geek of the moment what I was talking about. They'll connect remotely and look around my PC.
This is really getting annoying, I get these advertisement popups even in Opera at this site. I opened a Nightly browser (Firefox variant) and got a dedicated Bing search button in the middle of my comics that I wanted to read. It would not move even if I scrolled or change the size of the pictures in the browser.

 

[Broni]

I can't help you with your issues until we proceed with prescribed steps.
The issue won't get cured by itself.

 

[The1Leon]

Howdy again, I'm only working 2 or 3 days/week at this office so that is why I didn't get back until now. Comodo was a dismal failure. Not only did they fail to detect anything wrong they stopped my printer from working. Trying to go through the "Geek Buddy" (total misnomers) all that they were concerned with was how did I pay? I was on the 30 day trial, we could not get past that so I uninstalled the software and my printer works again. I'm letting SuperAntispyware have a go at stopping the problems . They have worked for me in the past. But this is a new and more aggressive challenge. Next step Malwarebytes Rootkit.

 

[Broni]

Try Avast. I've been using it for a long time and happy with it.
You must have some AV program running.

 

[Broni]

Still with me?

 

[The1Leon]

Finally got rid of this sh*t. I'll be back with the details.

 

[The1Leon]

They slipped up on one of their pop-ups and told me that the server at adshield.find-allyouneed.com could not be reached. Of course I could not find any of that on my PC. Googled adshield and found that I had tried adshield from Cnet and it failed. But the find-allyouneed.com was the culprit. To remove that, had to had to suffer through the sites that wanted me to buy their service. Some gave detailed instructions including renaming system32 drivers due to a hidden host file, going through the registry and manually deleting certain files and many steps other than those. But I'm lazy, plus I could not find some of the specific files mentioned. Sooo another site recommended ComboFix from Bleeping computer.com . It worked! Feels like the whole PC got an energy boost. It saved me from the format and reinstall routine. I'd rather do that than put up with the constant garbage.

I came back to give you this since you are helping others for only a suggested tip. I hope this will streamline your assistance to others. Thank you!

 

[The1Leon]

I'd rather eat the gravel where the dogs do their business than update my java, movie player, or adobe flash player from their popups; which were constant and insistant that I was outdated. I did go to the official sites only to find out that I was current on all of these.

 

[Broni]

We've been wasting time here.

I can't help you with your issues until we proceed with prescribed steps.

...or I'll close this topic.
