Hi Gary R,
I uninstalled Chrome, rebooted my computer, and installed a clean version of Chrome.

There are no more re-directs. It's a beautiful thing. :cheers:

Can I reinstall Malwarebytes now?

Also, a stupid question -- Are my previous backups of my files and folders infected?

OK, time for a little tidying up and then you'll be clear to go.

First ....

  • Double click OTL.exe to launch the programme.
  • Copy/Paste the contents of the code box below into the Custom Scans/Fixes box.
Code: Select all
:Commands
[clearallrestorepoints]

  • Click the Run Fix button.
  • OTL will now process the instructions.
  • When finished a box will open asking you to open the fix log, click OK.
  • The fix log will open.
  • No need to post me the log unless for some reason you have problems with the steps above and OTL fails to operate properly.

This will cause OTL to first create a new clean System Restore Point on your computer, and then to delete all previous System Restore Points on your machine, which may contain infected files.

Next ....

Provided that there were no problems with the previous step, then it's time to remove OTL and the other programs we've been using to clean your machine ....

To clear out OTL and the files and folders it created.
  • Double click OTL.exe to launch the programme.
  • Click on the CleanUp! button.
  • OTL will download a list from the Internet, if your firewall or other defensive programmes alerts you, allow it access.
  • You will be prompted to allow the clean up procedure, click Yes
  • When finished exit out of OTL
  • Now delete OTL.exe (if still present).

To clear out ADWCleaner and the files and folders it created.
  • Double click AdwCleaner.exe to run it.
  • Click Uninstall.
  • Click Yes to the prompt.
  • AdwCleaner will close and uninstall itself

Note: If AdwCleaner prompts you an update is available, click Cancel and continue to uninstall.

Please feel free to re-install Malwarebytes.

As far as I can see, your computer looks clear of infection now.

Are you still noticing any problems ?
  • If you are let me know about them.
  • If not it's time to make your computer more secure.

Please read the article below which will give you a few suggestions for how to minimise your chances of getting another infection.
