area51buy.com hijack

AdwCleaner was unable to fix it. MalwareBytes also did not help. When I try to open gearbest.com in firefox I see a blank page. The source of the page:

The tool couldn't kill the adware

Hi,

I have used the tool trying to remove an adware, but no results.

Here is the link of the malicious file:

[WARNING]: DON'T DOWNLOAD IF YOU ARE NOT A DEVELOPER

http://filesdownlall.ru/?file=adware  

Update:

It looks like the malicious URL doesn't download the file now, so i uploaded the file here.

Update 2:

After some investigation, it turned out that proxy settings have been manipula...

It looks like your PC's DHCP IP's have been altered maliciously not too long ago. Which it would make sense why one PC detects it, and another doesn't. Default addresses can be hijacked and used for malicious intents. It is hard to say whether it is a false positive or not. You could always reset your PCs IP's and router to see if that solves the problem.

Re: Supprimer Comodo, GG, Freeven & Systweak

Thanks for reporting the issues. Make sure you cleanup your PC thoroughly using Adwcleaner, Malwarebytes, and maybe even Hitman Pro, as that malware can not only hijack your browser but potentially leak your private information.

Thanks Bernard. Good point on adding to firewall if happens again. Was thinking same thing -- that it's not a real hijack or spyware. Glad to hear it from somebody with more IT proficiency. It only happens on one specific station on tunein, and I listen to a bunch so seems site specific.

Re: PUP.Legacy.Optional - 3 Threats Identified

Hello,

It's not a browser hijack, it's the search-engine setting that AdwCleaner set after removing a malicious one. This will be back to google.com by default, with a dropdown in the Options UI to choose between seevral search engines.

Just to be sure, you say that Duckduckgo has been set even if you didn't get any Chrome or Firefox detections?
