This is a growing problem I’ve noticed. In my case, my chrome got infected with some kind of malware or virus which, no matter what I do, from time to time (doesn’t matter what; complete a search on google or push a button on one of my own web-pages) re-direct me to some commercial site.
Nothing seems to bite on this, neither malwarebytes (anti-malware), avast (free), freefix or a bunch of less known software seems to notice its existence.
No programs have been installed since it happend to me, and it seems to spread within my account (i syncronize my chrome over three computers, all of wich got this bugger-infecstation now). Nothing appares in any logs (that i’ve seen so far) beside Chromes own log:
Note: You need to run the version compatibale with your system. If you are not sure which version applies to your system download both of them and try to run them.
Only one of them will run on your system, that will be the right version.
[*]Double-click to run it. When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
[*]Press Scan button.
[*]It will make a log (FRST.txt) in the same directory the tool is run. Please attach it to your reply.
[*]The first time the tool is run, it makes also another log (Addition.txt). Please attach it to your reply.
Please download ZOEK by Smeenk and save it to your desktop (preferred version is the *.exe one)
Temporary disable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware protection - instructions here.
[*]Make sure that Scan All Users option is checked.
[*]Push Run Script and wait patiently. The scan may take a couple of minutes.
[*]When the scan completes, a zoek-results logfile should open in notepad.
[*]If a reboot is needed, it will be opened after it. You may also find it at your main drive (usually C:\ drive)
It’s still the same… for now, it’s cleverly disguised as a “miss-click” so doesn’t happend more than 5-6 times a day (within 8-10 hours computer-time) I’ll come back and update this post if it returns, but so far, thank you mate :)!
Hello, I hope it’s okay that I post here, this is pretty much the only legitimate website I’ve seen to go over the problem I’m having. I’ve followed the steps listed in this thread, but I’m still facing the same problem.
I’ve attached the relevant log files, hopefully someone here can assist me.
Why does AVAST block “totaladperformance” but doesn’t eliminate it altogether as being a virus or whatever???
I’ve tried everything but can’t get rid of “totaladperformance”
