Hi,
My PC was infected with some Malware a couple of days ago and since then I've just been scanning and deleting unwated programs and software. No matter which anti-virus/anti-malware programs I use to scan and then quarantine and delete the infected files, the damn Mystarting123 automatically finds its way back to Google Chrome as my default search engine. As long as it's there, it'll continue to infect my PC with other shit and hence I want it out asap.
What I've already tried:
- Malware Bytes Anti-Malware: Have run umpteen scans on safe mode and normal.
- HitmanPro 3 (Free): Same as above
- UnHackMe: Same as above (this was the only one that actually found the mystarting123 files and I clicked "fix", there was no delete option, but it clearly hasn't been fixed)
- Bitdefender: Mostly useless, but have scanned using it too
- I've used Revo uninstaller to remove programs
Before, 2 days ago, it was a lot worse. The virus had taken admin access and wouldn't let me install programs, access the task manager or shutdown my PC and enter safe mode. I managed to do all of that, remove most of the nonsense on safe mode but now it's back. Everything I do, every scan I run .. It's always waiting for me in Chrome. (IE and Edge seem unaffected).
Please please help. All the solutions online say download these softwares and run or check for suspicious programs and processes and in the registry and delete, but there's nothing with the same name or something ridiculous that's make me want to delete it, and I don't want to fuck up my PC even more by deleting some important registry files.
PC Specs:
- Lenovo Y510P (Model No - 20217)
- 8GB RAM
- NVIDIA GeForce GT755M
- Windows 10 Home, Version - 1511
- Intel Core i7-4700MQ CPU @2.4GHz
