Infected by an adware

[sam]

or try RemoveIT Pro

i have used it. lists safe file as dangerous (not infected). don't know what kind of logic it uses to detect malware.

[topgear]

@ OP - scan the system with Spybot Search and Destroy and Ad-Aware Antivirus

[meetdilip]

Scan using PC Doctor, it can find dangerous add ons.

450+ tracking cookies

I think you did scanned before too? Why didn't you found them previously?

[Niilesh]

^I MBAM didnt detect any

BTW it didn't work ad still come
going to reinstall firefox

[thetechfreak]

Sorry for my late post

Since already everything is recommended, use-

1) as said by Topgear, get Spybot S&D. Update and full scan.
2) Scan using this- HouseCall - Free Online Virus Scan - Trend Micro USA

^I MBAM didnt detect any

Surprising.

Check if something suspicious is being invoked through the task scheduler.

Ran a scan with Spybot S&D
found some items deleted them now lets see

Update: problem still persists

Check if something suspicious is being invoked through the task scheduler.

Nothing through windows task scheduler

[sam]

reinstall browser. also if you can do a complete PC can with Emsisoft Antimalware but it too will remove infected files, and mayn't fix the problem.

[Niilesh]

reinstalling solved the problem(I think so)

Infected by an adware

Occasionally a new tab(not window) opens to a travel (agencies) sites
they are not usually the same site every time
are these adds by thinkdigit? As i am usually surfing on forum i don't know if it is just a popup(which i doubt as I have ad-blocker installed)

Just for the record, I would like to say that, yes, the site thinkdigit have started to showup pop-up ads on first visit. It's for me too, and I think for everybody. So, if you are facing the ad on just thinkdigit site, then it's normal.

[Niilesh]

Update - it didn't work

I noticed that it also comes while not surfing TDF so ..

[meetdilip]

WTF, I think now your pc have been infected with a rootkit. Do a boot time scan.

Its export (to save bookmarks to save to an external file), while import = to restore/retrieve all the data from the exported file.

using what(i mean any trusted app?)

Update - Noticed that i didn't perform a full uninstall
Performed a full reinstall(or whatever you would call it)

Edit: didn't work
i am getting frustrated

[topgear]

^^ scan your whole system with a AV rescue CD - get the latest updated version of the iso file from your preferred AV's website like Kaspersky, AVG, Avira, Bitdefender etc. - write the iso file on a cd - boot your pc with that and start the scan.

IMPORTANT : ComboFix is extremely powerful , You should not run ComboFix.exe unless you are asked to by a trained helper .

I have to just normally write it?
Nothing special to be done to make it bootable?(i think not but just don't want to waste a CD)
PS: Downloaded kaspersky rescue disk

are you a "trained helper" ?

[topgear]

you should write the iso file the way you write OS iso file ( to make a bootable OS Cd/DVD )
or else :
use imgburn ( place a blank Cd on the ODD before that ) - choose write image file to disc option - select the source of the iso file you have downloaded - choose write speed ( 10x should be good ) and hit the BiG write button - Voila ! your bootable CD will be ready to use within few minutes

Ran a scan from bootable PD today
It found three tojan.win32(which i think were false positive)
deleted them
Will again have to wait and watch

BTW kaspersky has not updated their rescue disk from a long time
its database is outdated. Is there a way to install updates from within windows?(as i would not be able to MBLAZE in its "OS")

Or should i download some other AV's rescue disk?

EDIT: didn't work(again)
Think will have to reinstall OS
