Computer gone crazy

Hi jacque

Actually it's nothing to worry about.
3 items found ... but those items are in the AdwCleaner quarantine folder, so they are perfectly safe.

Ok, let MBAM run a scan on your system.
If you have problems running it, boot into Safe Mode with Networking and then run a scan with MBAM.

How to Reboot in to 'Safe Mode with Networking'

Restart your computer.

When the computer starts you will see your computer's hardware being listed.
When you see this information start to gently tap the F8 key repeatedly.
A menu with options will appear;
Select the Safe Mode with Networking option using the arrow keys on your keyboard.
Then press the enter key on your keyboard to boot into Safe Mode with Networking.
When Windows starts you will be at a typical logon screen.
Logon to your computer as normal.

Safe Mode with Networking will give you an internet connection whilst in Safe Mode......
This will enable you to update MBAM if required.

After the scan is complete reboot your system as normal.
It's important that the system reboots into normal mode to finish any cleaning.

Let me have the report that MBAM produces.

Thanks

 

Hi jacque

I think you meant that your Google Chrome was hijacked?
That is what the MBAM report is showing.

I recommend that you reset Google Chrome to clear away any leftovers.

To reset Google Chrome

• Click the Menu option button at the top right of the Google Chrome screen
• Select Settings.
• Click Show advanced settings and find the "Reset browser settings” section.
• Click Reset browser settings.
• In the dialogue that appears, click Reset. Note: When the "Help make Google Chrome better by reporting the current settings" tick box is selected you are anonymously sending Google your Chrome settings. Reporting these settings allows us to analyse trends and work to prevent future unwanted settings changes.

Resetting your browser settings will impact the settings below:

Default search engine and saved search engines will be reset and to their original defaults.
Homepage button will be hidden and the URL that you previously set will be removed.
Default startup tabs will be cleared. The browser will show a new tab when you startup or continue where you left off if you're on a Chromebook.
New Tab page will be empty unless you have a version of Chrome with an extension that controls it. In that case your page may be preserved.
Pinned tabs will be unpinned.
Content settings will be cleared and reset to their installation defaults.
Cookies and site data will be cleared.
Extensions and themes will be disabled.

If you want to really make sure that nothing got carried over, you can also reset Firefox:

To Reset Firefox

• At the top of the Firefox window, click the Help menu and select Troubleshooting Information
• Click the Reset Firefox… button in the upper-right corner of the Troubleshooting Information page.
• To continue, click Reset Firefox in the confirmation window that opens.
• Firefox will close and be reset. When it's done, a window will list the information that was imported.
• Click Finish and Firefox will open.

Note:
After the reset is finished, your old Firefox profile information will be placed on your desktop in a folder named "Old Firefox Data." If the reset didn't fix your problem you can restore some of the information not saved by copying files to the new profile that was created.
If you don't need this folder any longer, you should delete it as it contains sensitive information.

The reset feature works by creating a new profile folder for you while saving your most important data.

Firefox will try to keep the following data:

• Bookmarks
• Browsing history
• Passwords
• Cookies
• Web form auto-fill information
• Personal dictionary
