1429166 2016-11-26 07:17:00 I run the paid version of Malwarebytes on my computers. Did a full scan with Malwarebytes and found a few PUPS. Then immediately scanned with Adwcleaner and found 4 PUPS and 1 nasty one. Very impressed, and so fast! mzee (3324)
1429167 2016-11-26 23:41:00 Definitely, always run adwcleaner after MBAM. linw (53)
1429168 2016-11-26 23:59:00 Then run zemana (www.zemana.com) in full scan mode, it picks up items that Malwarebytes and adwcleaner miss.


I run the paid version of Malwarebytes on my computers. Did a full scan with Malwarebytes and found a few PUPS That's a rip off then, :eek: The paid version is meant to contain active protection, so you shouldn't have to manually run it.

Malwarebytes lately is missing to much, they seem to be falling behind a bit. :(

1429169 2016-11-27 00:18:00 Have got no complaints about Malwarebytes Premium ,read on a few sites that it's performance has been improved and going after a lot of dodgy movie sites etc

Have it scan once a day automatically

Also have Zemana Antimalware along side Malwarebytes(they can be run together),Zemana hardly pops up not like Malwarebytes when you go were you should not Ha Ha

Run Adwcleaner&Junkware Removal Tool once a week or when needed :)

1429170 2016-11-27 00:33:00 Theres no one program that gets everything. Theres quite a few more That could be listed, BUT theres one thing that happens - Some people complain about the time it takes to do a scan. Quick scans never catch everything.

Some programs don't have certain functions turned on by default, this is usually because there may be a performance hit on lower spec computers.

1429174 2016-12-02 16:54:00 Probably the quickest remedy is to post a Hijack log here for speedy www.bleepingcomputer.com

Or may be quicker for him to log you into Teamviewer to fix your problem www.teamviewer.com

Nearly screaming xx Those redirects usually sit in the temp files as well as put them sleeves in the addons / Extensions within what ever browser you are using. They may also change your host file.

Suggest you run the following programs - ALL of them.

AdwCleaner, Malwarebytes, zemana (www.zemana.com) In FULL scan mode, JRT (www.bleepingcomputer.com), EEK (www.emsisoft.com) Hitman Pro -- At the same time go into the browser and remove any addons that may still be there. ALWAYS use full /deep scans the quick scans will miss lots.

Also run Nod32 scanner, you should really change its settings to deep scans PUP detection and Advanced Heuristics.

Just for the hell of it also run the inbuilt Disk Cleaner in Windows, it will also remove junk from the temp files that Ccleaner doesn't get. While at it TFC (www.bleepingcomputer.com)

ADVISE: don't expect the scans to be quick to run, ALL the ones that say they scan fast miss items. EEK for example in deep scan depending on how much data is on your computer can easily take a hour or longer ( often longer)

BASICALLY everything as mentioned in the following article. malwaretips.com
