Viruses and worms
1

There is a pain-in-the-neck intrusive malware or worm or something that creates hot-link advertising on certain key words when i visit websites (even my own website). It is caused by an outfit called “Enhanced Text.com”. When I Googled for a solution, the only advice is that it is computer-driven (not the websites) and one suggestion is to go to my Add-Ons (I use Internet Explorer) and delete it there – but it ISN’T there to delete!!

I have the Pro version of Avast – and it does not show up on a scan – if it is imbedded in my Windows Resgistry I have no clue how to purge it. I tried going to the website of these “clowns” that are responsible for this (Text.Enhance.com) but I get nowhere.

If it IS malware, how did it get past Avast – which has been so fantastic for me these years?

Please respond if you have advice how to (1) get rid of this problem and (2) who to complain to about how these type of companies that cause these “invasions”?

Thanks in advance

No security program have 100% detection....... if they did, there would not be a virus problem ;)

follow this guide and attach (not copy and paste) logs from Malwarebytes / OTL / aswMBR

Absolutely. New variants of malware (viruses) are created daily.

Monitoring for logs… :slight_smile:

Well I have still not heard about a solution to purge this thing whatever it is. Thanks Pondus, but that link is nothing more than another Malware “promise” that didn’t work either.

How about attaching your logs…??? :wink:

what did not work. ???

as Asyn say…you have to attach the logs so we can locate the malware first…
then the malware remover (jeffce) will kill it…if it is malware

Source of the problem is the Game Play Labs Plug in. For anyone having this problem in chrome, click on the wrench in the upper right hand corner, click on tools and go to extensions. Now disable the Game Play and the problem should disappear. It could also have come with other recently adware bundled software,
