Infected browser. 

system · 2015-04-23T15:48:45.000Z

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:

1. Explosm.net - Home of Cyanide and Happiness explosm.net (Clicked a link here)
2. ww(just so no-one copys it, regular www )w.totaladperformance.com/ad/display.php?r=316091 ww(Jus’t don’t go here)w.totaladperformance.com – This Crap appeared and redirected me to nr. 3
3. Profit Booster www(just so no-one copys it, regular www ).profitboosterapp.com

Anyone know what this annoying shit is, and how to remove it?

Thanks

How is your PC behaving now?

system · 2015-04-23T18:55:45.000Z

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”
