What is Reddit's opinion of Junkware Removal Tool?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

sounds like zee malware had gotten you good...

run this:

https://www.malwarebytes.com/junkwareremovaltool/

then install malwarebytes anti-malware and run a scan:

https://www.malwarebytes.com/mwb-download/thankyou/

after that shout out "fuck off malware!" then you might have to refresh FF again and report back if that fixed the problem....

Couple -more- things to try:

-Try scanning with herdProtect (http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/herdprotect.html)
-Try JunkwareRemoverTool (https://www.malwarebytes.com/junkwareremovaltool)
-Install Avast, run it's Boot Time Scanner
-BitDefender has a free USB Linux distro that auto updates and scans (https://www.bitdefender.com/support/how-to-create-a-bitdefender-rescue-cd-627.html)
-Use AutoRuns to disable whatever is starting up

-You can also pull the HardDrive and plug it into another computer as secondary hard drive and run scans that way...

Junkware Removal Tool by Malwarebytes is also a great program that you should consider running.

Please note: This is an intensive program, it may give false-positives. Before removing the things that may get found in the scan quickly look over them to make sure nothing you use and know to be safe gets removed.

It very often detects pirated programs as malware.

And you're welcome! Hope you have an awesome, and secure Summer Sale :3!

Edit: You may want to run CCleaner to remove files you don't need*(I don't recommend running the Registry cleaner unless you're tech-savvy and have knowledge about that sort of stuff as it may remove things you need)* and you may also want to look through your Program Files and AppData folders and see if there's anything suspicious there as well. Just Google the folder names if you're unsure what they are, like "library_dir folder".

Junkware Removal Tool and ADWCleaner by Malwarebytes are nice tools to use as well. I recommend using ADWCleaner because there's an option to remove all traces of the program after using it.

Click here to check it out.

Are you using Malwarebytes premium?

The last step would be to reset chrome (Homepage and check extensions, reset default search engine etc.) have you done this already?

The final tool I would try is:

Firstly, on mobile so excuse bad grammar and sentence structure.

Sounds like some junkware, download and run Junkware Removal Tool from Malwarebytes:

https://www.malwarebytes.com/junkwareremovaltool/

It's free, and easy to use.

Just run it and hit enter, it will give you a log once it's done. If it still having issues after that post the log here :)

Well that's just nasty. Try JRT too. Its a pretty good little tool. Then run MB and adwclearner again just because fuck leaving any trace of it if possible.

close all anti virus software. then run this program:

https://www.malwarebytes.com/junkwareremovaltool/

and then dont open anything and then run the game.

see what happens.

also you have patch and random numbers update correct?

Use adblock or ublock, so you won't even see those ads at all. Maybe it wasn't that important registry key, adwcleaner is deleting useless services/scheduled tasks installed by junk software too.

Or you can try Junkware Removal Tool or ZHPCleaner for even more adware detection if you want to be sure.

I seen it's nabbed the files, but I don't see it catching the startup execution.

Try hitting your system with JRT too. It should nail the rest.

In Autoruns, look for crap in the following tabs: Logon , Scheduled Tasks, Services, Boot Execute, Image Hijacks, Winlogon

If you are still having difficulties, you may want to try doing your scans again in safe mode.

I like hitting computers with JRT too. Try this now before safe mode, then reboot.

Something as simple as the shortcut you click to launch Chome could be infected, if you check it's properties you would see. If you have no clue what I'm talking about uninstall Chrome then run CC Cleaner, reboot then install Chrome.

Since Steam uses the Chromium framework to display web content, it can get infected by malicious extensions and scripts like any other browser, also some viruses add a DNS Lookup List which interferes and modifies web content.

NOTE: A restart could be required after doing each scan, so reboot when you have used one if it asks you before starting the next.

• Do a FULL scan with malwarebytes (enable the trial period for premium so it will block potential requests from the adware).

• Then do a scan with ADWcleaner: https://toolslib.net/downloads/viewdownload/1-adwcleaner/

• And do a scan with JRT: https://www.malwarebytes.com/junkwareremovaltool/

• Press Windows + X and choose command prompt (as admin), then run this command ipconfig /all and see which says in the DNS lookup list line. (You must probably will not know how to differentiate between legit and rogue ones, so post an screenshot showing it, BE SURE to blank mac address (physical address), IPV4 and v6 IPs from it before posting)

You might also try Junkware Removal Tool. https://www.malwarebytes.com/junkwareremovaltool/

I am not sure how it is now that MalwareBytes has taken the project over, but it used to be super good when used with ADWCleaner.
