Win32:Malware-gen Found

[TheHaych]

The two I would have expected, Adblock Plus or NoScript weren't the culprit. It was avast! Online Security extension that was causing mayhem with the mouse overs.

I meant 3 small horizontal bars

 

[TheHaych]

The stacked three horizontal bars are on the right with my layout. It has New Window, Print, Options, Add-ons, etc. That one right?

 

[ken545]

Yes, click on Add ons

 

[TheHaych]

I have disabled the avast! addon. The mouse over boxes are fixed now.

Good :bigthumb:

Double click on AdwCleaner.exe to run the tool again.

• Click on the Uninstall button.
• Click Yes when asked are you sure you want to uninstall.
• Both AdwCleaner.exe, its folder and all logs will be removed.

You can keep Malwarebytes, you can drag Junkware Removal Tool and FRST to the trash

Removed AdwCleaner, Junkware Removal Tool and FRST. Same for ERUNT, dds.scr and aswMBR?

 

[ken545]

Yes, you can remove them as these tools are updated quite often and if you ever need them again ( hopefully not ) the helper can just have you download a new copy

All done. My laptop is running much better now. Is that it?

If your happy than I'm happy

Unless you feel there are other issues than you could say we're done
