can't remove Nova.rambler.ru

My Chrome encounters Nova.rambler.ru browser hijacking and I fail to delete it from the homepage. I tried resetting the homepage settings but it keeps coming back next time I use Chrome. Also googled and tried other manual methods like restoring the browser settings to defaults as mentioned in this article but with no luck.

Re: Registry Key info. What is this ?

Hello,

No, nothing to really worry about, it's just an inactive remaining.

Re: Registry Key info. What is this ?

Hmm. But it only finds one key.

I am using windows 7 ultimate x64 too. thats quite an outdated page for the virus

Surely malware bytes premium or kaspersky internet security would have found the rest if my system was infected ?

but the thing is, my current system has never been infected so i'm quite confused about this result in AdwCleaner.

Would you recommend any other steps just to be sur...

Registry Key info. What is this ?

Hi guys I have come across this registry key which AdwCleaner finds. This is not the first time it has found it.

I removed it with AdwCleaner in 2016 and today I scan and see it has appeared again, but what is it ??

Re: Is it possible to tell if removed files (one folder, one registry item) were harmful

Hello,

This element was only used as a malicious search engine in your browser, not as a keylogger.

Best regards,

Is it possible to tell if removed files (one folder, one registry item) were harmful

Specifically is it possible to tell by what is in my quarantine whether the items found by adwcleaner were using is keystroke logging?  I'm trying to figure out if I need to go and change all of my passwords.

 

Removed items were:

Folder on desktop (I recognize the items inside this folder and they are all legit).

Registry key:   HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\AppID\BHO.DLL

 

Thanks very much.

Re: Wise Registry Cleaner detecté comme menace

Merci pour votre réponse.

Pas convaincu après la lecture du post en anglais et quelques recherches sur internet, je ne vois pas bien pourquoi vous le classez comme PUP. Aussi je continuerai à l'utiliser.

Re: Wise Registry Cleaner detecté comme menace

Bonjour,

C'est tout à fait normal. WiseCleaner installe des logiciels potentiellement indésirables (PUP), de ce fait nous avons décidé de le cibler directement.

Quelques informations supplémentaires sont disponibles ici : https://fr.malwarebytes.com/pup/

Aussi, je vous invite à regarder la conversation (en anglais) concernant, entre autres, WiseCleaner ici : https://toolslib.net/forum/viewth...
