I’m having a problem similar to the the person who made the “URL:Mal Explorer.exe” thread. I use Chrome and am now finding that half of the pages I visit using Chrome are causing an immediate Threat Blocked alert. I’ve also run ComboFix, HitmanPro, JRT and Malwarebytes to no avail. Attached are my two FARBAR logs as well as a screen capture of the error message. Would you please let me know how to resolve this? It’s really obnoxious. Thanks.

Anybody out there able to help? It would be greatly appreciated.

This is probably a deep infection in chrome, but lets do a basic clean first

Do you still have the alerts ?
If so could you try Chrome in incognito mode and see if that stops it
I still have the alerts until I go into incognito mode. Then they stop. Finally 
Is there a way to fix things so that I don’t have to stay in Incognito Mode indefinitely?
Pinnacos
Aye, one of the extensions has been compromised
Re-install Chrome
While I’m doing what you’ve just instructed, I thought I’d mention that over the past hour, my copy of MS Office OneNote 2016 has had the option removed from its right-click drop-down menu to allow me to make any screen captures. Any ideas what happened there? I hope I’m not going to be stuck having to do a complete reinstallation of MS Word Professional. Let me know your thoughts.
I’ll be back to you shortly once I’ve made the changes you’ve just suggested. Thanks again.

Does this help
Using the OneNote icon in the Windows system trayIf you’re used to clicking the OneNote icon in the Windows system tray, you might notice that it’s not visible in Windows 10. Here’s how to get it to appear.
1.In the lower-right corner or the screen, click the Windows icon, and then click Settings.
2.In the Settings windows that appears, click System.
3.In the System Window, click Notifications & actions.
4.In the main pane, click Select which icons appear on the taskbar.
5.Under Send to OneNote Tool, change the toggle to On.
After the Send to OneNote tool is in the system tray, you can begin to use it. To change what the icon does right-click it, point to OneNote icon defaults, and choose New quick note, Open OneNote, or Take screen clipping.
Unfortunately, the OneNote suggestion isn’t applicable. I’m using Windows 7 Professional. That link provides a solution to a problem for someone using Windows 10.
I followed your instructions, however I found no Stop and Clear button. I did uninstall Chrome after exporting my Bookmarks. Upon uninstalling and reinstalling, my bookmarks hadn’t disappeared, so they didn’t need to be imported. Not sure how to address the Stop and Clear issue. Chrome is reinstalled however, although it may not have been done in the capacity necessary.
By the way, I would’ve taken screen captures of what I was experiencing, but I’ve lost that ability through OneNote 2016 
Pinnacos
OK, I have never used Chrome so they must have made a few changes… I will check that out
Does the windows key plus shifted S work ?
I touched nothing that was in the right click context menu
Yes, the Windows key + Shifted S works. Thanks.
I’ll await your next steps for solving the main problem. I really appreciate your help here. By the way, how much longer are you working tonight?

Have the alerts now ceased
They’ve not stopped at all, except when I’m in an Incognito window. Otherwise they’re the same problem they were 2 days ago.
I’m just waiting for next steps from you.
OK did you stop the synch and delete all settings ?
I think the instructions are now updated
Re-install Chrome
Essexboy:
Your last set of instructions worked beautifully. You’re a Godsend. Thanks so much for digging me out of that nightmare.
You rock,
Pinnacos
Subject to no further problems
I will remove my tools now and give some recommendations, but, I would like you to run for 24 hours or so and come back if you have any problems
Now the best part of the day ----- Your log now appears clean 
A good workman always cleans up after himself so…The following will implement some cleanup procedures as well as reset System Restore points:
Remove tools

: Keep Java Updated :
WARNING: Java is the #1 exploited program at this time. The Department of Homeland Security recommends that computer users disable Java
See this article
I would recommend that you completely uninstall Java unless you need it to run an important software.
In that instance I would recommend that you disable Java in your browsers until you need it for that software and then enable it. (See How to diasble Java in your web browser and How to unplug Java from the browser)
If you do need to keep Java then download JavaRa
Run the programme and select Remove Java Runtime. Uninstall all versions of Java present
Once done then run it again and select Update Java runtime > Download and install Latest version
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73555776/javara.JPG
Now that you are clean, to help protect your computer in the future I recommend that you get the following free programmes:
CryptoPrevent install this programme to lock down and prevent crypto ransome ware
