Recently I’ve been having a lot of problems with malware. I got rid of most with adwcleaner, but “SourceApp” doesn’t get picked up by it. Tried running full Avast scans and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, but it doesn’t work.
Also, since today Avast has been spamming warnings while I’m browsing the internet using Google Chrome.
It’s warning about URL:Mal, and the URL is ushopcomp.com, and then something, it varies.
I’m attaching necessary logs, and a picture of the Avast warning.
Run FRST and press Fix
On completion a log will be generated please post that
THEN
Please download AdwCleaner by Xplode onto your desktop.
[*]Close all open programs and internet browsers.
[*]Double click on AdwCleaner.exe to run the tool.
[*]Click on Scan.
[*]After the scan is complete click on “Clean”
[*]Confirm each time with Ok.
[*]Your computer will be rebooted automatically. A text file will open after the restart.
[*]Please post the content of that logfile with your next answer.
[*]You can find the logfile at C:\AdwCleaner[S1].txt as well.
Right after opening Chrome, it warned me about an unthrustworthy extension. Turns out that’s SourceApp, deleted it and haven’t seen it reappear. Feeling kind of stupid now:)
Avast still warns me while browsing the internet, but it’s much rarer, and only one warning at a time. The URL changed somewhat. It now doesn’t have stuff after the /.
I did run AdwCleaner several times before, but did it again. Looks like it found nothing.
Find BuzzDock in your program files and uninstall it. It seems to have fixed my exact problem. The uninstall instructions have you answer a math problem though? Make sure that nothing strange pops up while uninstalling.
