Re: smartnewtab.com

Hi, me once more :-)

It seems reseting IE solved the problem, after it no more strange tab opening happend in IE till now.

Would have been interesting where the problem was hidden in IE and how it could have been removed, but this also seems to work - thank you for your help !

Have a nice weekend,

Klaus

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

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: 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

Good morning !

To your suggestions:

Removing DocMgr would of course be fine !

lanconf.exe is checked, false positive :-)

MyPhoneExplorer: Used it two times till now to get the SMS archive on the PC, what is a special task ;-)

ZHPCleaner: Ran it, removed the threats. But I noticed two strange behaviors when runing ZHPCleaner - first I started it when IE and Firefox were active (which were r...

Re: smartnewtab.com

Hi !

What a quick reply and perfect support :-)

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 cCl...

Hi !

Unfortunately I got trapped by some malware, AdwCleaner removed nearly all of it. But somewhere there's still something hidden where at least IE11 is still responding to.

Sometimes when clicking in an empty area of a websites page (where no links are visible), a new tab opens, showing that the URL hxxp://www.smartnewtab.com is opened, leading to an other website with crap.
