Hi,

You are right, we could have invest about what was creating those pop-ups. In fact a search on the registry with the url of the pop-ups could have worked since a great part of the IE configuration is set under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer.

We will do that next time !

 

Some recommendations, as Internet Explorer is not really consider as the safer web browser, I...

Issue with Microsoft Edge

I downloaded and ran AdwCleaner on my wife's computer after some suspicious activity to rule out an infection. All it found was: 'Key Found : HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\LowRegistry\DOMStorage\d23716qn9q7omq.cloudfront.net' 'Key Found : HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\LowRegistry\DOMStorage\dotomi.com'

I had it remove those keys, now when launching Edge it will not load...

Hello,

The error may be normal with previous releases (before 5.107). If you got it while running the v5.110, it's related to an old sqlite3.dll in your %temp% folder.

Nothing to worry about.

Best regards,

Actually I believe I got it while running 5.109.  Below are five logfiles, with the first two from being before the error, the third being at the tim...

And here is the most recent logfile.  Again, it is working fine but I would like to know what caused the "SQLite3.dll cannot be loaded" error.

Hello,

Can you share the logfiles, in C:\AdwCleaner\AdwCleaner[S1].txt?

It seems to be a Windows issue according to the BSoD you got..

Best regards,


fr33tux, 2016-04-12 15:25:29 (UTC)

No, the BSoD was related to a driver doing something screwy during startup that hasn't done it since.  But here are some of the more recent logfiles:

Re: smartnewtab.com

Hello Chapi,

here's my update on the last work:

I found the quarantine (MBAM too ;-), everything restored, no problem, thank you !

And MBAM (was busy the whole day long, more than a million files ... but no interference with SE ) detected several more entries in the registry, one js in Firefox and a Trojan whith Security Essentials already disposed in the trash. So nothing active and heavily...

False Positive

ADWCleaner reports these keys, but going to check the registry seems refer to Xvid and DivX, is can excluded them from future scans?
