Re: smartnewtab.com

Hello Chapi !

Celebrated to early - smartnewtab.com still opens occansionally in IE :-(

I ran a scan an hour ago with the newest versions of ZHPDiag and ZHPCleaner, both could only find the false positives which they also discovered the last days, logs are available if they are helpful for you.

Thank you again, Klaus

Re: Find but didn't remove MPC cleaner

Hi Leroy,

The AdwCleaner logfile shows us that MPC 's service is still present.

I'have already fought againt that service, and he is clearly well protected.

Actually, the best way to remove it, is to reinstall MPC completly, in order to uninstall it with it's own uninstall application.

The real problem here, is that some tools, like AdwCleaner, tries to remove it, but don't sucess completly...

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...

Re: Find but didn't remove MPC cleaner

Hello :)

Can you share the adwcleaner logfile ? It can be found in c:/AdwCleaner/adwcleaner[CX] where X is a number.

Is MPC Cleaner list in the Microsoft software to uninstall programs ? It can be found in the configuration panel. If so, try to uninstall it from there.

Hope it helps.

Re: smartnewtab.com

Hi Klaus,

 

I will inform the developper of ZHPCleaner that the soft have some weird behaviour. Do you want any help to restore some files ? ZHPCleaner has got a quarantine :)

 

One question to MalwareBytes before installing it: I have MS Security Essentials installed, won't there be a problem defending one another (and making the PC nearly unuseable) when both are active ? I experienced t...

Re: smartnewtab.com

Hi :)

I do a cleanup of the installed software frequently, there should be not to much unknown.

Most of the programs you listed are installed since a while and known to me (some are quite famous like Corel or Paragon), only DocMgr is quite questionable - it isn't listed in the installed programs, and I can find it listed in the start menu.

I ran cCleaner to see if there are invalid registry...

Re: smartnewtab.com

But before we do a script with ZHPFix, we are going to clean a little that computer :

  • Removing unuse or unknow softwares :
    • Please go to the Windows Tool to uninstall software (by configuration pannel > uninstall softwares)
    • Then ...
