Hi David, Maybe no nagware. maybe it has something to do with the worldwide hacker attack that happened on friday. greetings, simon Am 13.05.2017 um 18:24 schrieb David Mehler:
Hello,
Is there any new "nagware" out lately like in the last week or so? Nagware is what I call those virus fakes that pop up and read out with a tts "Your computer is infected, call this number etc etc etc".
I've got a machine that has it, it was a low priority until that owner got another machine infected, which is a high priority. Things we've tried, this is on win10 1607, Windows defender, Malware bytes (version unknown), (is v3 really accessible last time I tried it no joy), and a disk cleanup giving emphasis to deleting the temporary files. Also, a ccleaner.
The issue is nothing is detecting this malware, not defender or malware bytes, and cleaning the temporary files didn't stop it.
Browser used, firefox, (version unknown).
Last item one machine user was visiting the site www.watchfree.to
I also replaced the system's hosts file with one specifically designed to block a lot of ad sites, can't remember where I got it from, no joy.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks. Dave.
