1. How was it detected? Avast never found it i noticed it when it started spamming my browser
2. What was the source of the file, where did the file come from?.: I believe it was this: http://www.inviewer.org/downloads/inviewer_setup.exe it could also be this but i don’t think so: http://srecorder.com/soft/srecorder.exe
3. When was it downloaded or received? I installed it sept 26th
4. What is the exact file name with extension : inviewer_setup.exe
5. What was the exact wording of the message that the AV program came up with? This is important for later. Right click the asvast ball and left-click show last pop-up message! Avast never detected it.
6. Now go back and do nothing yet. Scan the particular file once again with your AV product. Avast reports not threats found.
7. Check with an on line scanner or update to Virustotal for a second opinion. VT resides at http://www.virustotal.com/index.html : All green: https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/7df4d551274e1100b343d331d14b990247a0ae4b85dd4881a5cccab5e517cf92/analysis/
8. Go get informed ask a Virus Encyclopedia or Virus Central. Remember Google is your best friend, also put a question on a forum.
Some info on it:
http://www.2-viruses.com/remove-clearthink
I have used a uninstaller program to remove every trace, i have removed it from my addons in browser, i have run a full system scan and boot scan on high, the boot scan said it found it and removed it but its still there.
It shows up randomly, about every 7-10th link i click on, it could be a banner on the page or a popup or a new tab all adverts. since i removed it from the browser add-ons list(firefox) It no longer shows up there but it still spamming my up.
One of its banners, adblock keep this one from showing content, it does not stop the popup or tab ones though, and of course, the things still there.
