Need help with this - I’ve run Spybot, AntiMalwarebytes, AdwCleaner, HitmanPro and JunkRemovalTool (JRT) on my PC and I’m still getting messages like this:
Avast Web Shield has blocked a harmful webpage or file.
Ok, so problem does no occur under Firefox - but Firefox says that link to www.google.com is unsecure/not trusted (not sure how to translate it properly, in polish it’s “To połączenie jest niezaufane”)
Also I noticed that the avast popups stop after a while of using Chrome, but when I close Chrome, it’s sends those alerts again and stops after a longer while.
Another thing: this started to appear (see attachment). It says “Hackers might steal your data from accounts.google.com” (basically it asks me to login again)
That is for the qualified removal expert (essexboy) to be established. What I gave you is extended protection, so that after this has been cleansed you won’t give in(out) inlog data from your google account onto sites that cannot be trusted (phishing sites etc.).
It is probably where the malware came through. Essexboy stating that Google Chrome is very popular so sought out specially for attack and it has present issues.
Ok agree with you fully, cleanse that malcode off first with the help of a qualified removal expert here (essexboy), then install that extension that was specially launched by Google to-day. That they did so is proof of the fact that you aren’t the only victim of such not-secure connections. If youlike to discontinue Google Chrome, try Sleipnir6 browser, it takes all your chrome settings and extensions and does not have the Google Chrome compromittal issues.
I run Google Chrome exclusively inside sandboxie, export my settings/bookmarks. Clean the sandbox every 5 days and the regular Google Chrome browser get cleansed with a CCleaner wipe every week as well. I can state I have very little problems so far (also thanks to Avast’s shields and PUP-mode).
Exported bookmarks, unsynced everything, but when I tried to delete Chrome via Control Panel, it returned an error. Now Chrome is no longer on the list of programs, but I can start it up normally and with all logins and passwords as before.
Also cannot remove the Google folder from disk, since it says that a folder/file is still open.
So I triend unlinking my google account from Chrome - it worked, browser looks like after a fresh install. But now I can’t login into google account (connection is not private). Using Firefox right now, but google site (mail, search, etc) is flagged by Firefox as ‘not trusted’. I’ve added an exception to google.com so I am able to search the internet but I will avoid it until situation is resolved.
Every now and then when I try a link to some sort of google site, Firefox says that this website uses 'wrong security certificate" (error code: sec_error_expired_certificate)
Is that possible that this is caused by my system time not being set properly? (my brother sets it to 14.04.2015 every day, don’t know why)
Tried disabling the google update via Control Panel/Administrative/Services, no result (i turned it to manual, reset PC and tried to remove google folder, no succes). As for Windows Firewall (Zapora Windows), I can’t find the Exceptions (Wyjątki) card - maybe it’s called differently under Win7?
