    How to remove allowlucks.com?


    My nephew was using my computer during his 1 week visit.
    Now I have this disturbing pop up from Notification Area generated by allowlucks.com.
    Someone please show me how to eradicate this one.
    I went to Programs and Features. Not there.
    I have gone to Regedit hoping I can find it. Not there.
    I went to Programs Files from C drive. Not there.

    P.S. I do not have McAfee installed. I have been using Windows Defender exclusively for at least 3 years.
    One of the most annoying popups......

    As a start . . .

    [1] I assume that you have performed a FULL AV and Malware scan?
    [2] Have you run ANY cleaners to clear out Temp files etc?
    [3] You could use the below and enter allowlucks for example to search for ANY instance of it on your OS . . .

     Everything - FREE

    Everything [ FREE ] is an extremely quick search engine that locates files and folders by filename instantly. Unlike Windows search, it initially displays every file and folder for which the criteria of the search matches.

    I hope this helps!

    Thank you for the response.
    To answer your top 2 questions:
    1.) I use Windows Defender ONLY. No other AVs installed.
    2.) Temp files have been removed using Internet Options. No effect. Still get the popups.

    I'll try the Everything tool you suggested in a minute.

    Everything search tool does not find allowlucks.com.

    Back to square one.

    David,

    Getting those notifications implies that there is an uninvited process running on your computer.

    As Paul asked, have you run a full & an offline Windows Defender scan?

    I did a quick scan earlier.
    I am now doing a Full Scan with Windows Defender in Windows Security.

    While the Full Scan is running, I have turned off Notification alerts completely. That stops the disgusting annoyance. For now.

    I don't use edge but try launching edge then press [Ctrl+Shift+Del]

    Clear everything.

    Also remove notifications for that website:

    Thank you.
    I am still waiting for Windows Defender full scan to finish.
    If problem still persists, I'll try your "Add or Remove Sites....." tutorial.

    Question to all.....
    I always have an Image Backup done each time a new Update installed.
    I have one done for 20H2 build 19042.804. That's before this issue arises.
    If I run that, will it remove the "uninvited guest"?

    You might try running a free (one time) online scan with Eset ... ESET Online Scanner | ESET
