[Solved] Gateway Malware

Yeah Win10 takes a little getting used to.... but it's worth it.
There was no real malware showing in the reports, just adware (PuP's ).
Obviously the previous owner didn't take a lot of care when installing free programs.
Let me know when your ready to finish off and we'll remove everything we've installed.

 

Ok let's finish the cleaning process and remove the tools we have used.

Step 1
Restart MalwareBytes.
Click on the Quarantine tab
Tick to select all items (if any there ) and then click the Delete button.
Close MalwareBytes.

Step 2
FRST can now be removed:

Right click on the FRST icon and select delete.
Right click on any fixlog.txt or fixlist.txt files and select delete.
Navigate to: C:\frst and delete the frst folder

Step 3
RogueKiller AntiMalware can be uninstalled from the uninstall list: (if you want to remove it)

For Win10:
Right click on the Start button >> select Programs and Features and then select RogueKiller AntiMalware

To remove AdwCleaner

Restart AdwCleaner ... click on the Uninstall button from the main screen.
This will remove all the files created and the program.

Now that you are clean, please follow these simple steps in order to keep your computer clean and secure:

Use an AntiVirus Software

Only install one AntiVirus program at a time

Use a Firewall

Only install one software Firewall

Scan regularly with a 'Stand Alone' Anti-Malware scanner:
Installing another scanner that you can run once or twice a week is always beneficial.
Something like:

• Malwarebytes 3 Free after the 14 day trial
• RogueKiller Anti-malware (Free)

Remember to update these programs each time before running.
You can install more than one of these if you only run them as stand alone programs.

Install an AdBlocker
Firefox: uBlock Origin
Google Chrome: uBlock Origin
Edge: uBlock Origin Preview

uBlock Origin is more than an "ad blocker": it is a wide-spectrum blocker -- which happens to be able to function as a mere "ad blocker".
The default behavior of uBlock Origin when newly installed is to block ads, trackers and malware sites.

Internet Explorer:
Adblock Plus for Internet Explorer

P2P programs/Torrents
Don't be tempted to use Peer to Peer programs.
Many of the downloads are bundled with malware.

Beware of PuP's when installing 'free' software
(Potentially Unwanted Program) An application that is installed along with the desired application the user actually asked for.
In most cases, the PUP is spyware, adware or some other unwanted software.
However, what makes spyware or adware a PUP rather than pure malware is the fact that the end user license agreement (EULA) does inform the user that this additional program is being installed.
Considering hardly anyone ever reads the license agreement, the distinction is a subtle one.

Understanding PuP's (Adware)


Update all your 'Security' programs regularly - Without regular updates you WILL NOT be protected when new malicious programs are released.

Follow this list and your potential for being infected again will reduce dramatically.

Glad I was able to help.

Safe surfing.

 

You're more than welcome.
As long as you are happy, then that's good.
