Hi !

Unfortunately I got trapped by some malware, AdwCleaner removed nearly all of it. But somewhere there's still something hidden where at least IE11 is still responding to.

Sometimes when clicking in an empty area of a websites page (where no links are visible), a new tab opens, showing that the URL hxxp://www.smartnewtab.com is opened, leading to an other website with crap.

Re: Possibly False Positive - AdwCleaner

Hello Xplode, sorry for the insistance, i understand that some PUPs use this driver to capture information. However wouldn't it be possible that a legitimate program, as a Banking module might rely on this driver? Researching in the web, it seems that the signer " GAS INFORMATICA LTDA" makes some banking modules for security protection.

Furthermore, i have just scanned with OTL and found the f...

Re: Possibly False Positive - AdwCleaner

Hello,

It's related to some PUPs which are using this driver, so it's not a FP.

Possibly False Positive - AdwCleaner

Hello, it seems to be a WinDivert driver and developed by Basil Projects. Although i'm not sure which program it belongs.

Re: XP sp3 AdwCleaner 5.108

Yes I'm aware of that, I'm running on limited RAM, so sometimes older versions are a must. But, I run Firefox in Sandboxie, and the older versions of Avast and MBAM still get current definitions updates....At the end of the day XP is out of date by a couple of years. Limited finances prevent upgrades. The Motherboard is maxed out at 512MB RAM. But having said all that, the machine runs lean and...

Re: XP sp3 AdwCleaner 5.108
