AdwCleaner

Viruses and worms
1

Hey, recently I downloaded AdwCleaner to a friends computer to remove about 4 toolbars that shouldn’t have been installed. It successfully removed all of them but as the side affect, sites like Twitter, Facebook, and Mojang (Minecraft makers) sites don’t load all the way. Everything is aligned to the Left with a ton of links but no background.

Any ideas on what could be causing this? Unless the logs auto save, I don’t have them. Sorry.

Edit: I did look at the logs and there were probably a hundred things deleted in numerous places ranging from the browser to the registry.

Thanks
Michael

hello is it possible that you attach the adwcleaner log ?

I mentioned above that unless they autosave I do not have them. Sorry. If they do, can you tell me where to find them?

4

isn’t it there ? :

C:\Adwcleaner[Sx].txt

I’ll be able to check in a couple hours. Given that I’m currently at school right now there isn’t much I can do to check. If it’s there I’ll transfer the file to my email and upload it from a clean computer. I’ll also check to see if there are any other viruses on the computer. Not to mention an AV.

Thanks for helping out. And sorry for being hard on you at first. Didn’t know you were big on other AV forums. But the forum I checked was in French.

Logs were deleted in a complete system failure. Lenovo, computer might explain it. I ran adwcleaner to confirm it dind’t crash it. When I ran it, it attempted to make changes to my start-up. Why? There was nothing that needed to be fixed in Start-up.

hello i don’t really understand

Could you specify what it happend ?

  2. Installed it
  3. Ran as an Admin
  4. searched found Some keys and remainder of a toolbar
  5. Deleted it.
  6. Avast pop-upped saying it tried to make a change to start-up Allow or Deny.
  7. I denied it, and from there it booted normally

My behavior sheild is turned off and will not turn on! Several virus are locked on and running. How can I get rid of them and turn on the behvior sheild?

14

New thread First of all. What are they? I’d download MBAM and scan. And Delete and then reinstall Avast

15

TDSS found nothing. And it was also questioned by Avast. How do I disable SmartScreen?

16

close all the windows and the applications during the installation and during the analyse.

Download here:

http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php

Install (choose your langage ; do not modify the parameters of install) and update it.

close any current applications!

Launch Malwarebyte’s.

Make a complete scan

Let the program work ( make nothing other with the computer during the scan).
at the end you click “result”.
Verify that all the infected objects are validated, then click " deletion".

Note :

If it is necessary to start again your computer to finish the cleaning, make!

Post the report after the deletion of the infected objects (in the tab “report / log” of Malwarebytes, the last one dates)

17

I use MBAM ever Week g3n. Latest Log will take 20ish minutes

Edit: Can you disable Avast Update Pop-Ups? They are driving my sister nuts.

Thanks.

I’m a derp. Can’t find out how to add files in the Edit part of things.

TDSS and MBAM logs below

Edit: I’ll add AdwCleaner as well

19

Apparenently I can’t add 2 at the same time. MBAM Log

for the pop-up :

in Avast! , In the tab Sounds, Uncheck “Activate sounds avast!”. To deactivate this parameter will not prevent Avast from working correctly.
