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" :

 

 

  • Download MalwareBytes Anti Malware here.
  • Launch MalwareByte's Anti Malware from your desktop

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.

I tried the test version you posted in another topic and I see it includes in the updated translation. Thanks again!

But was there any particular of keeping "Uninstall" intact? I think it would be better if it says "Uninstall AdwCleaner" because some people may think this button uninstalls adware. Are there are any text length issues? No way to display the "Uninstall" and "AdwCleaner" words in...

THe developer is looking at the bug.

In the meantime, we'll use FRST :

  1. Download FRST
  2. Right-click on the file -> "Execute as Administrator"
  3. Click on the "Scan" button
  4. The logfile is saved as FRST.txt , and additional informations are in Addition.txt.
  5. Please host them on Up2Share and share the generated links.

Re: Bug avec les versions : 5.034, 5.035 & 5.036 (ne finit pas le scanne)

Bonsoir,

Bravo et mille mercis. Cette version de AdwCleaner a résolu le problème, en ce qui me concerne. Le "freeze" a disparu et le programme en a profité pour détecter, puis supprimer un adware !

Cordialement.
