Hi

 

Just got a new HP Pavilion laptop running Windows 8 and it has already become infected with the Advance Elite malware which is causing continual pop-ups in my web browsers. Norton doesn't seem to find or repair this software.

 

I have ran the aswMBR scan but was unable to run Farbar as my Norton detected it was unsafe and deleted the file.

 

This is the log from the aswMBR scan:-

 

aswMBR version 1.0.1.2201 Copyright© 2014 AVAST Software

This is a really annoying piece of malware and any help or advice will be most gratefully received.

Well I just ran ADW Cleaner and it seems to have done the trick. Brought up a whole host of Advance Elite, Astromenda and Pokii files to delete. I did and hey presto everything seems o.k.

 

Will report back if it all goes pear shaped again.
