Springiles / esurf.biz adware

I clicked on a springfiles virus searching for "modensa cot instructions". Doh!

My first clean has the following log. I have cleaned several times since and it says I am clean. But I am still getting lots of redirects and occasional Chrome freezing whilst I am asked to call the Microsoft certified technician.

Thanks in advance.

Re: Unable to remove some adware

Hello,

Sorry for the delay.

We'll try to use MBAM hoping it will remove all elements I found in the logfile. Otherwise, we'll remove them "manually" :

Re: AdwCleaner 5.037 becomes unresponsive

I also updated official version so you shouldn't have this issue if you re-download AdwCleaner from Toolslib or BleepingComputer.

Re: AdwCleaner 5.037 becomes unresponsive

Ok I know where is the problem :-)

Can you download the previous version again? I updated it. Delete the file "generic.log" before running it. Then do a scan, and post the content of the new generic.log file which will be created ( pastebin link )

Thanks.

Re: AdwCleaner 5.037 becomes unresponsive

Hello,

Can you run it in debug mode ( Click on "Options" -> "Activate debug mode" ) then run a scan. Even if it crashes, please post the content of the file called "AdwCleaner_dbg_xxx.txt" located under C:\AdwCleaner.

Re: Missed remnants

If they think "Uninstall" button uninstalls the detected adware, it's that :

1) The helper didn't give clear instructions

2) They didn't read the documentation

Translation will be updated in v5.037.
