I dont, why dont you just try downloading and installing a legal copy of PhotoShop, than you will have a legit copy malware free.

 

After you uninstall  it, run CKScanner again and post the new log please

yeah, i got my hands on a legal copy of Cs2, forgot i bought it (disc and all) at a garage sale some time ago

 

CKScanner 2.5 - Additional Security Risks - These are not necessarily bad
scanner sequence 3.MN.11.QULBV0
 —– EOF —– 
 
 
thatr's literally the new log now that the torrent is uninstalled

Is that little box still showing up ?  If so lets set Chome back to defaults

 

  • 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
  •  
    Did this help ??

    i did, reactivated the legit google addons like chromecast, and reactivated adblock plus, and adblock super

     

    and the google docs add on

     

    as for the virus, it's still popping up, running JRT and will post a log as soon as it finishes

     

    i bought a little HDMI dongle that says chrome on it a while ago and use it to browse the web on my TV

    yeah, it's still around, is this normally a resilliant virus?

    I have dealt with this pest before , its not a virus its more of a PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program ) On some systems its been removed just running the tools we have run and on others its a nightmare to get rid of

     

    Download Avast-browser-cleanup to your desktop
     
    • There is nothing to  install, just right click on it and Run As Adminstrator
    • When its finished scanning it will list Browser Add ONs
    • If if finds anything that you think is bad or any other bogus toolbars
    • Just high light them and select REMOVE
    • Close out the program
    • Reboot your system and test your browsers
    •  
       
       
      After you reboot, if its still there then lets uninstall Chome. 
       
      Go to the control panel, click programs and features, locate Google Chrome and uninstall. 
       
      Open the Registry Editor by pressing the Windows Key + R type regedit and click OK. 
      Locate; HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google and delete it by right clicking it and selecting delete.
       
      Look for these and delete them if still present
      • C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome
      • C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome
       
       
      Then reboot and reinstall Chome

      https://www.google.com/chrome/browser/desktop/

      yep, uninstalled, rebooted, removed it from the registry, and reinstalled chrome, been browsing for a while now and can't seem to get it turn up

       

      I assume it's gone now

      Great. Lets do this, I will keep this thread open for you for about 3 days, post back if it returns, if the thread is closed just PM me and I will reopen it for you

       

      Double click on AdwCleaner.exe to run the tool again.
      •  
      • Click on the Uninstall button.
      • Click Yes when asked are you sure you want to uninstall.
      • Both AdwCleaner.exe, its folder and all logs will be removed.
       
       
       
      ==========================================================
       
       
      Please download DelFix and save the file to your Desktop.

      • Checkmark " Remove Disinfection Tools"
      • Click the Run button
