Hi All,
The Browser Cleanup option is GREAT and really fixed a BAD problem I had with malware that took over a portion of my screen and filled it with ads. The root cause was “Albrecto.” It turned out, when I ran MalwareByes, there were some 30 instances of it in my registry and all over. Avast had failed to find them!
When I used Browser Cleanup the first time, it came back with a message saying, more or less, “all seems OK with your browser,” or some such. Well, gess wat? I have both Firefox and I.E. I clicked on Firefox and it showed me “Albrecto” and offered to disable it!
My point is: Do NOT just click Browser Cleanup and go away if it says “all seems ok.” Click on your browser(s) and check each. Doing so solved my malware problem.
when malwarebytes finished, and showed me the bad stuff, i think ALL were “PUP,” but a few may not have been; I’m not sure. I should have looked closer. I was just so glad it found and removed them all. avast! let them into my PC, but, I have to praise the fact that avast! DID disable the one or more blocking 1/3 of my Firefox browser screen. YAY for avast! on THAT!
I have no clue where the “logs” are, or how to reach them? Nothing that says “Logs” shows up on the left side of my screen, and, far as I know, there is no detailed User Manual for this 2014 version?
