Hi. Yesterday I downloaded I file I shouldent have. I deleted it. But then I started getting problems. First there was this ads on my desktop, and chrome suddently opened by it self and opened different sites. I ran Avast and it found something and deleted it, a bit better, but still chrome would open new tabs on it self. I did a restart and I suddenly had a new browser “TheBrowser” or something. I downloaded Malwarebyte and it took care of that program.
However, I can’t shake the feeling that not everything is gone. For instance, when running Chrome now, it asks if it should be my default browser, if I click on that, it takes me to a new screen where there are no “normal” browsers to choose from. Only browsers I never have heard of.
I think I have the “medium avast” license. Because I can’t see “settings” anymore, whenever I open that on Avast, it is just a “blank” page, I see the checkboxes and stuff, but can’t see anything else. Anyone know what to do?
I am not sure. I might have. I used several “adaware removal tools”
The rest I have done now. Something happened, it ran through the fix and restarted the computer. However, I still can’t choose Chrome as standard browser. I attach a screenshot of the browsers I can choose from after I select “use as standard browser” (see attached image)
Thanks for all your time and help. But it still doesn’t work. I reset Chrome, but when clicking the button to make Chrome the default browser, I still get pointed to windows and have to choose between the five unknown browsers: WebAccess, Sidekick Private Browser, Loadkit Download Manager, Turn Off the Lights, and No Trace Left Behind (I have never heard of any of them, the last one even costs money, 232 NOK, about 30$ or something)
