[SOLVED] JS:SaveByClick-B [Adw]

Viruses and worms
1

Hi everyone.

First time posting to this forum.
After installing avast! I have been getting the notification that JS:SaveByClick-B [Adw] has been blocked upon opening chrome. I have followed the stickied instructions and attached the logs.
I was having trouble with hijacked links before I installed avast! so I am guessing that this is it? Also, computer is running slower after these hijacks started.

Can someone help in removing this please? Let me know if you need more info.

Thanks

Open notepad and copy/paste the text in the quotebox below into it:

Could you run chrome in incognito mode and let me know if the alerts still appear

Opened chrome in incognito mode and confirmed that the alert still appeared

11

OK lets uninstall chrome for the moment, if this works we can re-install

Re-install Chrome

  1. If you have bookmarks, let’s save them by exporting them - Export Bookmarks
  2. Then I need you to go Google Sync and sign into your account
  3. Scroll down until you see the “Stop and Clear” button and click on the button. At the prompt click on “Ok”
  4. Now we need to uninstall chrome. Note: When asked about user data or settings you must remove this also so please check the box.

Now could you let me know if the alerts appear in other browsers

12

Uninstalled Chrome like requested - checked using firefox/internet explorer and no pop-up notification.

13

OK now reinstall chrome and let me know if they re-appear

14

That seemed to have fixed it!

Thank you so much for your help!

: 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

Now that you are clean, to help protect your computer in the future I recommend that you get the following free programmes:
