To my understanding, there evolves a new ways of Virus called advertising virus!
→ Avast is NOT ABLE to kill this kind of virus at this moment!
→ advertising virus will occupy large amount of space of your facebook and/or other websites by posting their clients’ advertising banner
→ now this advertising virus changes to post, instead of iLivid’s ads, another advertising banner to my facebook webspace:

Hi hhtmp88,

At other user forums, the owner/vendor has actually come on the site and offered the exact same webpage, but, as you found, the uninstall instructions are pretty much useless. Scam.

Please have a read here: http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=53253.0

Needed logs: Malwarebytes, OTL, and aswMBR.exe. Attach these logs in your next reply. “Attachments and other options”

A malware specialist will review your logs and will work with you to remove this rogue advertising virus once these logs are attached.

What are “Malwarebytes, OTL, and aswMBR.exe”, where can I find these?

Hello,

You should click this link here: http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=53253.0

Read the introduction,

THEN

Click link provided for Malwarebytes Antimalware. This will download a file (use the second here for Major Geeks site) called mbam.exe

Do the same for OTL.exe and aswMBR.exe Install Run each one at a time and update each as needed; then scan and attach the new log produced. Follow all instructions as carefully as you can; then you should not have any problems running them. Other programs listed here are not needed at this time.

(See attached pictures below for example of installed programs:)

Attach the resulting logs from Malwarebytes and OTL (two), and aswMBR.exe

EDIT: Modified post as Pondus noted; information was incorrect. I am sorry about that. There is no need to update OTL or aswMBR. Malwarebytes may need to be updated tho before a scan is run to get the latest definitions.

Do the same for OTL.exe and aswMBR.exe Install each one at a time and update each as needed;
[b]OTL [/b]and [b]aswMBR[/b] are not installed ...... and do not have a update function... you download latest updated version when you need it
