Luckysearch home page virus

system · 2015-05-20T10:06:20.000Z

Luckily, the Luckysearches virus was removed because I used Adwcleaner and also it RESET my entire browsers (removing add-ons and Luckysearches). Sadly, my Chrome was unable to change it back right after the removal procedure was complete.

P.S. LOL, my CPU usage is very low after removal procedures and also does my RAM usage.

There are my logs:

But I had the Luckysearches-related files deleted by AdwCleaner.

I assume you created this topic because you wanted help … diagnostic logs will show leftover files / additional crap that need to be removed

Sure, I will notify you if the FRST log is done.

Suprisingly, my download speed after having the Luckysearches-related files being removed went up gradually as I got astonished how did that happen.

Yesterday, I tried to run the program named “Zoek” but it was slow in performing the scan which took 4 hours in doing that. Can you tell me what happened?

magna86 · 2015-05-26T21:56:23.000Z

It just got stuck. Post me fresh FRST logs for final analysist.

Hello MatthewGo707,

For some reason, Zoek won’t run properly. We could force him to finish his scan, nevertheless, just post fresh FRST logs to see where will that lead us.

No, I meant to say I need fresh sets of Farbar recovery scan tool (a.k.a FRST) logs …
