Hello,

Can you share a logfile showing the "Trojan.Agent" detection ?

Thanks,

Every day, Windows Defender is detecting at least one Trojan on my PC.

MBAM is reporting that a copy of Windows' shortcut to the Messenger app in my Startup folder is a Trojan.Agent threat.  While it is possible that the recent attack has infected this shortcut, MBAM doesn't report any threat when I rename the shortcut or scan a copy of the same shortcut in a different location.

Is this a bug...

Hello,

Please use the updated release: https://toolslib.net/downloads/viewdownload/1-adwcleaner/ and the problem should be gone.

Best regards,

Fortunately, I kept backups of CCleaner's registry deletions, some of which are clearly nothing to do with this adware:

MBAM later found StartGo123, which had been hijacking Chrome.

I imagine the malware writers reading our conversation and learning too, but HTH.

Re: What are these registry keys

It's not really clear, but IOBit is usually considered as PUP, so you can remove them, especially if you do not have installed the software yourself.

Hello,

Oh. It would have been interesting to get all the references to BrowserAir, so that I would have added them to AdwCleaner.

But thanks for the feedback :)

Have now run CCleaner to clean Registry and remove many, but not all, references to BrowserAir.

Windows: Settings: System: Default apps: Choose default applications by file type: .htm no longer shows BrowserAir.
