The infamous 102f.net/al/1000.html adware

system · 2015-08-01T14:17:35.000Z

Okay my computer just got infected by these. I heard that installing Android Studio can install this virus unnoticed so I guess this was the cause(since I did install it for apk editing) I got it uninstalled though after I have found better alternatives(well, that’s before seeing these adverse effects that is) :-\

I have used AdwCleaner before I saw the posts regarding this. “itchronium.exe” just got messed up due to it, I think it got infected severely(but not my mozilla, which what I’m using right now) Now I have followed the stickied thread “Logs to assist in cleaning malware” and got the logs.

Right now my computers runs seemingly fine now,I guess. My Avast doesn’t spam me with threat errors anymore and familiar websites don’t pop up weird ads. But I want to be sure, I just really don’t want that thing return once again.

Thanks for that info thread anyway.

No problem … Are you still getting the alerts ?

Not anymore bro! 8) Probably I’ll be keeping my printed instructions from the thread for future encounters. Really saved my computer!

Now time for me and my brother to finish our research papers

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

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