    Stupid me


    Has anyone but me gotten that "Pro PC Cleaner" horsecrap. I run Avast, AdAware Pro, Spybot Search & Destroy, and Spyware Blaster and it STILL got through. Can't get rid of the crap. Nothing in the "Programs and Features". Not in the start up under Task Manager. Tried searching with Regedit. Nothing. Anyone have ANY ideas here?

    Hi:

    >>Disclaimer: I am not trained to provide formal malware removal advice.<<

    Without seeing some basic diagnostic logs, it's hard to say for sure.
    There are many rogues, PUPs and bonafide malware with similar-sounding names: "PC Cleaner Pro" vs. "Pro PC Cleaner", etc. etc.
    Proper removal would require seeing some logs to know exactly what the critter is on your system.

    You might want to try running AdwCleaner (but beware, as it can have false-positives), JRT, and MBAM (be sure to configure the "Detection and Protection" settings to treat PUPs/PUMs as malware).

    Having said that, the safest thing might be to head over to one of the many, reputable computer disinfection fora. The helpers there will be trained to know what tools to use, and in what sequence, for complete removal and repair.

    Hope this helps a bit,

    MM

    If you have an "older" system image backup(You do have one, right?, Right?), you could just reimage and update everything after. Even though I use an AV, MBAE, and MBAM, my most important malware cleanup tool is, a system image back-up(that I am certain has no malware) on an external USB drive stored in my closet.

    Running MBAM as we speak and it picked it up already. Hope I get lucky.

    Please be sure to reboot, if prompted, for complete removal.
    But do NOT delete anything from MBAM Quarantine until someone can take a look at your scan log.
    (Items in quarantine cannot harm your computer, but it's best to leave them there for a while, to be sure there is no problem with the system after the malware/PUP removal. You can always manually delete them later from the Quarantine.)

    If you wish, please post back with the MBAM SCAN log attached to your next reply here in this thread.
    (Let us know if you need help doing that.)

    Thanks,

    Thanks,
    Worked like a charm, and have not touched the quarantine yet. Thanks a bunch.

    I exported the log to a txt file....here it is...

    Worked like a charm, and have not touched the quarantine yet. Thanks a bunch.
    That's good news. I'm glad MBAM removed the pest/rogue/PUP for you.
    MBAM certainly found a ton of stuff, mostly PUPs.
    (FYI you did not have all scan options enabled (such as the rootkit scanning).)

    Having said that, complete removal of some types of malware requires the use of multiple tools.

    So the safest thing might be to head over to one of the many, reputable computer disinfection fora to get a second opinion.
    The helpers there are trained to know what tools to use, and in what sequence, for complete removal and repair (as needed).
    They can walk you through some additional scans to be sure you are fully clean.

    But it's up to you, of course.

    Also, for the record, neither Lavasoft AdAware nor Spybot S&D is held in high regard by many security experts these days.
    Like @Cliff S, I also use MBAM and MBAE alongside my AV for layered protection, but there are other options, too, for anti-malware and anti-exploit protection.

    PUPs are not true malware, in the strict sense, but they can get you into trouble eventually and some are hard to remove.
    They all require some sort of user action (or lack thereof) to wind up on your computer.
    So, it's possible you did not opt out of these PUPs during the setup wizards when installing other, legit software.
    You might want to be more careful about installing stuff, and/or use Unchecky or a similar utility to avoid getting these unwanted freebies.
