Been following this pest for awhile and from what i can see running AdwareCleaner and JWR and Malwarebytes removes it

 

Lets try setting Chome back to default

 

 
  •  
  • Click the Chrome menu [external image: Clipboard01_zps2e55f676.jpg]on the browser toolbar.
  • Select Settings.
  • Scroll down to Show advanced settings…
  • Down on the bottom you will see an option for RESET BROWSER SETTINGS
  • Click on it and it will set Chome back to defaults

Close Chome and reopen it and see if it helped

Just open setting and  this was there. I went ahead and clicked reset all settings

 

Chrome detected that some of your settings were corrupted by another program and reset them to their original defaults. Learn more

Reset all settings

 

I guess now it is a wait and see game?  Don't know if this may be the way I did, but I clicked on the banner to see the "new AOL" and when I realized it wasn't anything I wanted I sent an Email to what I thought was Tech help desk. I got an email and saved mail file, but when I went looking for it just now it was gone. Could this have been the link which did this? If so then why now this adexchange?

Note sure, lets wait and see

 

 

Open up FRST, checkmark Additions, run a new scan and post both new logs please

Post #19

FRST is the one which I could not get to load saying it is not compatible for Window 10. Even with the update today it won't load keep getting the message to check with publisher for one which will. Tried Window Compatibility to see if it would load and it remains check with publisher.

Drag FRST64 to the trash and lets try downloading it from a different site, make sure you download the 64 bit version and download it to your desktop

 

http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/files/file/435-frst-farbars-recovery-scan-tool/

 

After its downloaded right click on it and select RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR

Post #29
