One of the kids was playing Wizards 101, in trying to purchase an option, we inadvertently downloaded funmoods. A tool bar was set up on Chrome.
I ran malwarebytes and removed 55 objects…all funmoods related.
I restarted, removed the toolbar, reran MSE after updating.
How can I confirm that the malware has been removed completely?
My name is Michael and I will be helping you with your computer problems.
Be aware that I am currently in training, which means that my replies must first be approved by one of my teachers. This may cause a slight delay in my responses, but keep in mind that this process is only to ensure you are receiving advice of the utmost accuracy.
Please keep the following points in mind:
Malware research is often a time consuming process and sometimes multiple tools/methods will have to be employed before an infection is completely dealt with. Please be patient during the process of removal.
Read my instructions carefully before carrying them out. Also, consider printing out any instructions in case you lose your Internet connection.
If you have any questions, please ask before carrying out a fix. Clearing up any confusion beforehand will save time in the long run. That said, I will try to post instructions as clearly and concisely as possible.
Please reply to this thread. Do not start a new topic, and do not request help on other forums during the course of the cleaning process.
If you do not reply after three (3) days, your thread will be closed.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Please do not delete anything unless instructed to.
DO NOT use any TOOLS such as Combofix or HijackThis fixes without supervision. Doing so could make your system inoperable and could require a full reinstall of your Operating System and losing all your programs and data.
I will be back as soon as possible with a response.
