Hi there

I downloaded something from sendspace yesterday, but stupidly rushed through it and downloaded something else to go with it.

Now whenever I’m on the internet it loads with Easylifesearch which tries to look like google but I’m guessing its a type of malware.

I have uninstalled it from the control panel but it still appears when I load a page, any help would be appreciated!

Quick scan log attached, cheers

essexboy · February 2, 2013, 5:51pm

How is it behaving now ? You still need to reset chrome home and start page, do you know how to do that

system · February 2, 2013, 5:53pm

It seems back to normal, I have reset chrome and as far as I can tell it is fine. Should I be wary of online banking and using passwords at the moment or is it not that serious?

essexboy · February 2, 2013, 6:37pm

No it is just an adware programme

Subject to no further problems

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

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

Run OTL and hit the cleanup button. It will remove all the programmes we have used plus itself.

We will now confirm that your hidden files are set to that, as some of the tools I use will change that
[*]Click Start.
[*]Open My Computer.
[*]Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options.
[*]Select the View Tab.
[*]Under the Hidden files and folders heading select Do not show hidden files and folders.
[]Click Yes to confirm.
[]Click OK.

: 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 and 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:

Malwarebytes.

Update and run weekly to keep your system clean

Download and install FileHippo update checker and run it monthly it will show you which programmes on your system need updating and give a download link

If you use on-line banking then as an added layer of protection install Trusteer Rapport

It is critical to have both a firewall and anti virus to protect your system and to keep them updated. To keep your operating system up to date visit
[*]Microsoft Windows Update

Thanks for your help, appreciate it

My pleasure ;D

Hi there,
I had the same problem last week. The first thing I did was a restore,this pulled up two Sprotector.dll files that may or may not be deleted by the restore, which according to Google are the culprits. After the restart the problem was still there. Next I selected the oldest restore point and tried again,this worked, no more Easylife . ;D
