clickered.com pop ups every 5 minutes.....

Since this afternoon my laptop has been popping up with avast messages - something along the lines of clickered.com, mal:url.

As requested, I have run the various programs for the various logs.

The MBAM program is still running - I will post the log when it is done.

I have run the FRST program - the FTST.txt and additions.text logs are attached.

I will run the aswMBR.exe program now, and will post the log in a minute

Please help somebody!

Let me know if this clears it

Well, I have been on my laptop for about 30 minutes now, and touch wood, nothing has popped up!

another 30 minutes, and still nothing - looks like it has been resolved! Thank you very much! Where do I send the cheque to? :wink:

No check needed…we are volunteers…free labor. ;D

Give your machine a good work out and report back immediately if you experience any problems. Check the thread tomorrow as Essexboy may need to remove tools from your machine. Thank you.

Subject to no further problems :slight_smile:

I will remove my tools now and give some recommendations, but, I would like you to run for 24 hours or so and come back if you have any problems

Now the best part of the day ----- Your log now appears clean :thumbsup:

A good workman always cleans up after himself so…The following will implement some cleanup procedures as well as reset System Restore points:

Download and run Delfix

: Keep Java Updated :

WARNING: Java is the #1 exploited program at this time. The Department of Homeland Security recommends that computer users disable Java
See this article

I would recommend that you completely uninstall Java unless you need it to run an important software.
In that instance I would recommend that you disable Java in your browsers until you need it for that software and then enable it. (See How to diasble Java in your web browser and How to unplug Java from the browser)

Now that you are clean, to help protect your computer in the future I recommend that you get the following free programmes:

CryptoPrevent install this programme to lock down and prevent crypto ransome ware

Malwarebytes.

Update and run weekly to keep your system clean

It is critical to have both a firewall and anti virus to protect your system and to keep them updated.

still no problems at all - again - thank you very much. The service you have provided for no charge is fantastic!

Our pleasure :slight_smile:
