My wife got the virus from Facebook that led to the downloading of the flash update and made a big mess after that.
After reading the threads here and following the advices on one of them (get Malwarebytes, update it, disconnect the internet, uninstall Avast! and then running a Full scan with Malwarebytes), I wonder if there is anything else to do, any other scan/check to do to make sure that the damn thing won’t give a headache again. Now waiting for the full scan to finish, tomorrow morning (writing from Far East timezone) quarantine the trojan and run another scan.
Post the contents of the MBAM scan log or attach a .txt file (containing the contents) to your next post once the scan is complete so we can see what was found.
Tell me if this is what you are looking for. My wife’s computer is extremely slow, the Quarantine in Malwarebytes has 58 items but looks like still has a bug in it.
I recommend buying Malwarebytes Pro and running the IP blocking feature. It has been effective in keeping computers away from the sites promoting rogue security malware.
Be sure to set the exceptions/exclusions in Avast as instructed on the Mawlarebytes site.
Why, too damn sensitive, so lots of FPs (even some avast IP being blocked); not to mention this is meant to be malicious sites, but it includes many other categories which aren’t malicious.
When that happens it is a pain in the rear, so it didn’t last long as an enabled option for long. Also as far as malicious sites are concerned, I would rather trust the network and web shields to look after that area.
No problem, most people just say as some do MBAM IP blocking, which is a bit too general as it is meant to be malicious website blocking. See the mbamUI, Protection (image), it is quite clear and for that description it isn’t tight enough.
That is just a small part of the MBAM log, please post the full log so we can see what it found. Btw I have no idea why Essexboy didn’t jump in, but I will pm him again.
C-Nile virus maybe - but I am here now ;D
Hi lets see what you have - what are your current symptoms ?
To ensure that I get all the information this log will need to be attached (instructions at the end) if it is to large to attach then upload to Mediafire and post the sharing link.
[*]Close ALL OTHER PROGRAMS.
[*]Double-click on OTS.exe to start the program.
[*]Check the box that says Scan All Users
[*]Under Additional Scans check the following:
[*]Now click the Run Scan button on the toolbar.
[*]Let it run unhindered until it finishes.
[*]When the scan is complete Notepad will open with the report file loaded in it.
[*]Click the Format menu and make sure that Wordwrap is not checked. If it is then click on it to uncheck it.
