    Hello! I have sent you the log in 3 parts since its too long.
    I cannot find PC Tools Security or sdCoreService
  3. Bobbye Helper on the Fringe

    3 weeks ago, you got the AskToolbar and Ask.com on the system. I set up removals for all entries I founds and also instructed you to uninstall all entries in Add/Remove Programs for Ask anything- toolbar, updater, .com
    ---------------------
    Additionally I told you to uninstall all of the following:
    Go to Add/Remove Programs and uninstall the following, if found:
    When finished, use Windows Explorer to access Computer> Local Drive> Programs> Look for program folder for each of the programs you uninstalled and do a right click> Delete on each.
    ---------------------
    I also instructed you to remove this Scheduled Tasks: Remove this Scheduled Tasks:

    • Please open Firefox> Tools> Add ons> Extensions> Remove the following:
      Ext: Conduit Engine
      Ext: BitTorrentBar Community Toolbar
      Ext: Support.com Toolbar: (this is another entry from ask.com)
      -

      Not there are more Ask entries to be removed in Firefox:: Tools> Options> Extensions and/or plug-ins> Delete ALL of the following.

      FF - Ext: Support.com Toolbar: toolbar@ask.com - %profile%\extensions\toolbar@ask.com
      ---------------------------------
      I instructed you to updated and run Mbam again, making it q Full Scan this time. There was no log.

      You installed Ask.com again on 1/12
      =========================================
      It appears that you have not copied all of the script and run it through Combofix- not once but 3 times
      ========================================
      If you do all of the above, update and run Combofix once more. It will be last time I write script for you to run in Combofix.

    As for Ask I did everything you told me except for removing it from Computer> Local Drive> Programs. it says that the programm is used by someone else. I did remove it last time but it was reinstalled when I downloaded Avira.

    ESET found no threats
  8. Bobbye Helper on the Fringe

    Check all the download screens well for pre-checked toolbars and browser helper objects. The Ask entries are very frequent and the current one even installs an auto-updater! These things are a lot easier to prevent that they are to get rid of!

    Come to think of this, Broni brought this up and has stopped recommending Avira because of it. I think he now has Comodo instead. I'll check on that.

    Are there any malware problems remaining- clean Mbam and Eset.?
  9. lemika Newcomer, in training

    I did not know that Ask entries are that bad. so should I uninstall Avira and download Comodo instead?
    by the way, i used Ask instead of Google. at least it did not redirect me all the time :)

    Eset is clean. I am not sure about MBAM, but the problem is still there. it looks like it is easier to have someone reinstall Windows
  10. lemika Newcomer, in training

    Hey! i have a question. I do not have anyone to ask it so I thought you may help me with it. we have Netgear at work and as my boss said he can track websites we are visiting. can he track websites I am visiting on my Iphone if I use Wifi at work?
    Thank u in advance :)
