magna86 · 2015-07-03T15:06:02.000Z

Hi rajuvprasad,

And this looks like it. All traces of this boring adware should be gone now.

Now, I would like you to download corresponding tcpip.reg, run it to allow registry merge and changes and then reboot PC.

system · 2015-07-03T15:37:56.000Z

Hi Sir,

I have run the tcpip.reg and rebooted.

Everything looks ok, but I cannot identify the difference, as since today morning, I wasn’t seeing the notifications.

Except for the one issue where, sometimes when I click on links in content on any website, some junk pages are getting loaded…
Ofcourse I haven’t seen these in the last 1 hr or so, had been randomly loading up earlier in the day.
here are those links that opened…

Then, if all is well I will preform some post-cleaning process and give you some tips how to protect yourself better.

system · 2015-07-14T10:17:49.000Z

Hi Sir,

The alerts have completely gone. I haven’t seen a single alert of the kind in the last 10 days.

Let me know if you need me to do anything in regards to post-cleaning process.

Once again, Thanks a lot for helping me out.

magna86 · 2015-07-14T10:20:12.000Z

Glad I could help. Posted logs appear cleans and show no signs of active infection. You should be good to go …

We’re gonna remove my used tools now as well as carry out some further cleaning and security settings. To learn more about how to protect yourself I’ll give you a few tips for reading.

• The following will implement some post-cleanup procedures:

http://www.mcshield.net/pg/images/arrow.png
Please download DelFix by Xplode to your Desktop.

Run the tool and check the following boxes below;
[i]
http://www.mcshield.net/personal/magna86/Images/checkmark.png
Remove disinfection tools

http://www.mcshield.net/personal/magna86/Images/checkmark.png
Create registry backup

http://www.mcshield.net/personal/magna86/Images/checkmark.png
Purge System Restore [/i]
Click Run button and wait a few seconds for the programme completes his work.
At this point all the tools we used here should be gone. Tool will create an report for you (C:[b]DelFix.txt[/b])

The tool will also record healthy state of registry and make a backup using ERUNT program in %windir%\ERUNT\DelFix
Tool deletes old system restore points and create a fresh system restore point after cleaning.

Tip: Do not use security tools such as ComboFix, FRST, Zoek and the like. These are advanced security tool, should not be used without supervision.

• Learn how to protect yourself:

=> In order to stay protected it is very important that you regularly update all of your software and Windows Operating System.

It is important that you visit Windows Update regularly.
How to configure and use Automatic Updates in Windows

It’s vital that you keep all your software up-to-date as older versions may have some security vulnerabilities. Keeping Java and Adobe update is priority.
Download and install latest version of Java
Download and install latest version of Adobe Reader

=> I recommend that you use one of the fantastic opportunities provided by
http://www.mcshield.net/pg/images/avast5.png
avast! AntiVirus.

For security protection, an active AntiVirus is required. If you want to reinforce your security setup I recommended additional security software and utilities:
Download and install Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware and perform ‘Threat Scan’ from time to time. Malwarebytes will detect and remove all traces of known malware.
Download and install MCShield Anti-Malware Tool to prevent infections transmitted via removable drives.
Download and install Unchecky to keeps your checkboxes clear by preventing installing additional adware and other PUP bad software.
Download and install AdBlock for safe web browser surfing without annoying and malicious advertising ads.
