Solve : CHROMIUM Malware - What is it?? |
|
Answer» A Google search goes to web sites that want to give me even more malware. This is a tutorial on how to completely remove the "Chromium" malware. This is not the only method, but I found this to be the most effective. ... I did remove it, but hot that way! Question: Why did my AV program not find it? (I am running Windows 10 pro 32 bit on my Dell 755.)Hello and welcome to GeekPolice.Net My name is Dave. I will be helping you out with your particular problem on your computer. 1. I will be working on your Malware issues. This may or may not solve other issues you have with your machine. 2. The fixes are specific to your problem and should only be used for this issue on this machine. 3. If you don't know or understand something, please don't hesitate to ask. 4. Please DO NOT run any other tools or scans while I am helping you. 5. It is important that you reply to this thread. Do not start a new topic. 6. Your security programs may give warnings for some of the tools I will ask you to use. Be assured, any links I give are safe. 7. Absence of symptoms does not mean that everything is clear. If you can't access the internet with your infected computer you will have to download and transfer any programs to the computer you're using now and transfer them to the infected computer with a CD-RW or a USB storage device. I prefer a CD because a storage device can get infected. If you use a storage device hold the shift key down while inserting the USB storage device for about 10 secs. You will also have to transfer the logs you receive back to the good computer using the same method until we can get the computer back on-line. ***************************************************************** Quote IMO, any program that will not uninstall is likely malware -Am I right?That's one good indication but not always. Quote Question: Why did my AV program not find it?Because it is not a virus. It is malware. Please download AdwareCleaner onto your Desktop. AdwCleaner Before starting AdwCleaner, close all open programs and internet browsers, then double-click on the AdwCleaner icon. If Windows prompts you as to whether or not you wish to run AdwCleaner, please allow it to run. When the AdwCleaner program will open, click on the Scan button as shown below. AdwCleaner will now start to search for malicious files that may be installed on your computer. To remove the files that were detected in the previous step, please click on the Clean button. AdwCleaner will now prompt you to save any open files or data as the program will need to reboot the computer. Please do so and then click on the OK button. AdwCleaner will now delete all detected adware from your computer. When it is done it will display an alert that explains what PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs) and Adware are. Please read through this information and then press the OK button. You will now be presented with an alert that states AdwCleaner needs to reboot your computer. Please click on the OK button to allow AdwCleaner reboot your computer.A log will be produced. Please copy and paste this log in your next reply. ********************************************* Download and install: Please download Malwarebytes' scanner to your desktop. Double Click mbam-setup.exe to install the application.
Download Security Check by screen317 from the following link and save it to your desktop. Security Check * Double-click Security Check.bat * Follow the on-screen instructions inside of the black box. * A Notepad document should open automatically called checkup.txt * Post the contents of that document in your next reply.

Windows Defender is the resident AV that comes with Windows 10. I would advise you to uninstall AVG. It is not needed. You should only have one AV active on your computer at any time. ESET Online Scanner Note : If you use Internet Explorer to get the ESET Online Scanner, you won't have to download, nor install the tool, as everything will be ran in a contextual (pop-up) window of Internet Explorer. However, for every other browsers, you will have to download and install ESET Online Scanner. In this set of instruction, I'll use Google Chrome to download it and run it (since a lot of people will do it), however, except for the download and installation procedure, the same instructions applies if you use Internet Explorer. Please note that two or three prompts will appear if you use Internet Explorer asking you to reload the page, authorize the application, execute it, ETC. Accept all of them in order to run ESET Online Scanner. Download and execute ESET OnlineScan (on this window, click on ESET Smart Installer to trigger the download). People accessing this URL via Internet Explorer will start the integration process of ESET Online Scanner in their browser; Once the installation is done (it requires Admin Rights), check the following settings (two of them are under Advanced Settings, click on it to display them) : Enable detection of potentially unwanted applications; Scan archives; Scan for potentially unsafe applications; Optional : If you want to scan more drives, click on CHANGE... and select the drives you want to include in the scan; After you're done CHECKING these options, click on Start and ESET Online Scanner will download it's virus signature database before starting the scan; Once done, the scan will start automatically. Detections will appear at the bottom of the window. ESET Online Scanner can have an EXTREMELY long scan time that can last between 2 or 3 hours. So if you start the scan, do not interrupt it, let it complete until the end; After the scan is finished, a summary window will appear to give you the information about the scan. Then you'll have to the option to see what threads were found and to manage the threats that were quarantined; Click on List of found threats, it'll display every threat identified during that scan, their type and what action was taken against them. Click on Copy to clipboard to copy these results on our clipboard and post them in your next reply; Once you're done, click on the Back button; Check both checkboxes at the bottom: Uninstall application on close and Delete quarantined files before CLICKING on the Finish button; |
