    Default Unwanted Adware/Blackworm

    Just like to say "man, I appreciate this forum!" I just started getting unprompted ads for WinAntiVirusPro (with the ads suggesting that I may be infected with "Blackworm") as well as pop-ups for Adultfriend finder (nice). Nothing of relevance comes up from doing a McAfee Viruscan or Spyware search. No results from Spybot as well. But it's there man, it's there! Please take a look at my HJT file. Thanks FIRSTON89

    Updating Java and Clearing Cache
    1. Go to Start > Control Panel double-click on the Java Icon (coffee cup) in the Control Panel.
    2. It will say "Java Plug-in" under the icon.
      Please find the update button or tab in the Java Control Panel. Update your Java then reboot.
    3. If you are unable to update you can manually update by going here:
    4. After the reboot, go back into the Control Panel and double-click the Java Icon.
    5. Under Temporary Internet Files, click the Delete Files button.
    6. There are three options in the window to clear the cache - Leave ALL 3 Checked
      • Downloaded Applets
        Downloaded Applications
        Other Files
    7. Click OK on Delete Temporary Files Window
      Note: This deletes ALL the Downloaded Applications and Applets from the CACHE.
    8. Click OK to leave the Java Control Panel.

    Default Unwanted Adware (as if any of it is wanted) Follow-up II

    Rawe:


    I updated Java and deleted the files. So far so good. Computer is purring like a kitten (let's keep our fingers crossed). Again, I am most appreciative. You guys can show a thing or two to the folks at McAfee!

    You're welcome - Glad I was able to help.

    Please read here how to clear old restore points and create a new one.

    Stand Up and Be Counted ---> Malware Complaints <--- where you can make difference!

    The site offers people who have been (or are) victims of malware the opportunity to document their story and, in that way, launch a complaint against the malware and the makers of the malware.

    Here's some tips for future to prevent spyware;

    Detect and Remove Programs:
    • How to use Ad-Aware to remove Spyware <= If you suspect that you have spyware installed on your computer, here are instructions on how to download, install and then use Ad-Aware.
    • How to use Spybot to remove Spyware <= If you suspect that you have spyware installed on your computer, here are instructions on how to download, install and then use Spybot. Similar to Ad-Aware, I strongly recommend both to catch most spyware.
    Prevention Programs:
    • Spywareblaster <= SpywareBlaster will prevent spyware from being installed. (My favourite)
    • Spywareguard <= SpywareGuard offers realtime protection from spyware installation attempts.
    • MVPS Hosts file <= The MVPS Hosts file replaces your current HOSTS file with one containing well know ad sites etc. Basically, this prevents your computer from connecting to those sites by redirecting them to 127.0.0.1 which is your local computer
    • Google Toolbar <= Get the free google toolbar to help stop pop up windows.
    Other necessary Programs:
    • AntiVirus Program <= An AntiVirus program is a must! Whether it is a free version like AVG or Anti-Vir, or a shareware version like Norton or Kaspersky, this is a must have.
    • Firewall <= A firewall is definatley a must have. Two good free versions are Sygate and ZoneLabs.
    • More Secure Browser <= Internet Explorer is not the most secure and best browser. There are safer and better alternatives available. I recommend Firefox.
    And also see TonyKlein's good advice;
    So how did I get infected in the first place? (My favourite)
