I noticed there is three com surrogates when I open task manager, two go away after a few seconds, the one that remains is located in system32. Other two dissapear too fast to see where they are coming from. I would really appreciate it if someone could help me, I am scared I have a virus. Thank you.
Hello! I can't get rid of my problem, and I tried everything that usually did the trick. One thing that I forgot to mention - so far, it only appeared in Chrome. But it could be just weird coincidence. Anyways, I thank you very much for any kind of help! Cheers!
Looking for assistance in removing this annoying SmartNewTab malware/virus! I am glad that I am not the only one having the issue, and that you have found a fix for others. Attached are the requested FRST files. Thanks in advance!
My computer first started playing up in the Middle of January. When going to my normal sites a popup appeared to update for Java so I clicked on it and updated Java. My anti virus had expired at this time as well.
I have now got the current version on McAfee installed and I have done a complete scan. I have also installed AVG and ran a complete scan. I have had a friend around and he installed spyhunter but I did not want to pay for another program with no guarantee of working so he...

Laptop was infected with CTR.EXE and CDHTR.EXE about a month back.
It's become very slow since.
Ran Malwarebytes and removed the suggested files but the files somehow manage to come back.
Since last Monday I keep receiving popups from Avast warning me about an infection in C:\Windows\SysWOW64\regsvr32.exe I have run an Avast Boot-Time Scan, and a full scan with Malwarebytes, and still nothing has happened. Right now I am running a scan with Malwarebytes Anti-Rootkit to see what it turns up.
Absolutely tearing my hair out with this one. Had the infection appear after coming back from a holiday and no idea how it got there since nobody else uses this PC. Can only assume I've been had off by a blag java install
As detailed I've never had the Reimage or DNS Unlocker programs installed on this machine and yet the popups keep making their way back and I have no idea where the files causing this are or where they come from. Uploaded the FRST scan results and also just ran an MBAM...

After downloading a possibly infected file from the mod nexus for elder scrolls without realizing, I did a malwarebytes check and found three infected files, after they were quarantined I deleted them. My internet then started not responding. I could not connect to any site other than my college homepage, and there are no networks listed as being connected to even though the ethernet is working for all other computers. I complete a FRST scan and attached the results. Any help would be...
Hey there! I experienced this problem last week and found this thread through a Google search. Eagle, I see this discussion happened in December. Would you recommend I go through the steps you outlined above as well?
