Posted April 7, 2016 OK. This virus is on crack or something. I've never had such a bad virus. There are three of them that were installed without my notification. I came back to my computer today to find windows spamming "Windows Defender has found some malware. Removing it". I was interested to see this. I just ignored it. I opened my browser, and a massive stream of pop ups appeard on my screen and my default browser had been changed. I was able to remove two of them, but one still remains, continuing to say there are updates that need to be installed for every application I launch. It is also tracking my location by displaying ads saying that I've won something. Random installers can also be seen opening without me doing anything. THere is also this random browser that has opened without me doing anything. I crashed it twice in task manager, but I cannot crash it anymore for some reason. Windows Defender says there's malware, but when I open the application, it says there's nothing wrong with the pc. A video below can be seen to illustrate what's happening. I cannot uninstall the third virus that's crating the ads and updates and crap since it's in a different language. Please someone save me from this hell hole... I've signed out of everything just in case I'm being tracked. Once I get rid of this, I will be changing all passwords.

Posted April 7, 2016 Try running Malwarebytes/HitmanPRO? Last resort would be a clean wipe FPS <3 Flick G1 Review Nixeus Revel Review Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted April 7, 2016 Best practise imo is to wipe the drive and reinstall windows. Use malwere bytes first though boot into safe mode first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you could go through most of your important files and scan them 1 by 1 I'll use this as a last resort. I'm scanning with windows defender and malwarebytes as we speak. If no result, I'll slowly backup and wipe. If you play Geometry Dash, would you take the time to rate this demon? 14986973 ;3; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted April 7, 2016 (edited) I suggest, if you can burn it from another PC, Kaspersky's rescue disk. You can download the ISO for free, burn it to a cd, boot into it, update the definitions, and run a full scan. I cannot tell you how many times I have used this to bring back infected computers. http://support.kaspersky.com/us/viruses/rescuedisk AVG makes one too, but I trust Kasperskylab Edited April 7, 2016 by Aegis2x Added link.

Posted April 7, 2016 Author I've managed to remove the virus by using Malwarebytes, removing it in reg edit, then temp, then booting safe mode and removing it from program files.

Thanks for all the help :3 Just to be safe copy all data to another drive and do a clean install. That will remove any traces. Hello Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
