Thai Advertisement on Google Homepage

[Mike45]

Something new is happening on my two computers. Advertisements are showing up on every page. Google home page and search pages as well. Always Thai language and usually dirty types but always Thai. language. You know sex pills with photos of people having sex etc. Occasionally an additional tab will open with Lazada on it. 

I've scanned with AVG and Norton. They don't find anything on the computers. Both windows 10 using Chrome on ADSL 3BB.  

What is this? How can i get rid of it? Is it possible that this is something 3BB is doing.

Try clearing your browser data (History, Cache, Cookies).  

See if any new browser extensions have been added without your consent.

Close and Reopen the browser and see if it's cleared.

 

If not, then download and run AdAware or other Anti Malware software you trust to scan and clean your system.

 

Something is 'injecting' ads. While it can be somewhere upstream, more likely it's in your browser.

I cleared browser data on both machines

I verified the extensions

I downloaded and ran Adaware

The Results

One machine had 8 Adware infections and they were cleaned up

The other one found nothing.

 

While i was waiting for scanning to complete I installed both AdBlock  Plus and  Adaware Adblock. With one of them I can point and  right click at an ad and it will block the element Ad. That feature doesnt work on the Adaware product. One of them allows me to add many different 3rd party info to block more. So between them the ads and new tabs opening up are being blocked.

Im disappointed that I'm only blocking them instead of being able to find and remove the software Malware that is causing the problem.

 

Is there another product you recommend that can find and remove the Malware?

If you are using Google Chrome, download AdBlocker from the store. There are a lot of free ad-blocker apps to download.

I had this problem about two months ago and I had what you said as well as many Russian ads. They were infiltrating  other websites I was visiting also. I tried many of the anti virus and malware destroyers but nothing changed. I was using Google Chrome.

 

Since then, because I had no success of any kind getting rid of them, I decided to escape from Chrome and now I use Firefox. Problem solved,

If I went back to Chrome, I suspect the same problems would be there but I am not taking any chances.

it's adware; run the adwcleaner.

[johnnymo]

I use Malwarebytes whenever I get a serious infection.

It comes as a free 30 day trial but I un-install it after the clean up.

That allows me to re-instal it at any later date, should I need it again

[Foozool]

Delete and reinstall OS.

I just ran adwcleaner. It found 23 tems and all were removed. It required a reboot. I opened chrome and two extra tabs opened with ads. Lookng at the lower left corner I see waiting for b.partner-cdn.men. I think that has something to do with my problem but im not sure

[Mike45]

This is pretty frustrating!

If you haven't already; reset your Chrome browser settings. You could probably run the Adwcleaner again and find a few more adware packages too.

Even though this link ultimately delivers the browser to malwarebytes.com (and a very useful suite of utilities)...

 

I DON'T recommend posting links using url shorteners as it doesn't indicate what site or application is being linked. Some even allow the destination url to be changed at a later point.

 

url shorteners are great for when you need to enter them by hand.

With some infections of malware you have to do a multi-program approach.

Usually running these already suggested cleanup utilities one after the other will remove most:

 

adwcleaner

malwarebytes

spybot S&D

ccleaner

 

If these don't clean it off completely (or it almost immediately comes back) then you'll need to specifically identify the infection and find a matching how-to-remove guide on a technical support forum.

[RichCor]

Couldn't find a how-to-guide for this specific issue on any of my favorite support sites, but found one on a blind Google search that looks...  OK.  I'd just leave off the step about installing AdGuard.

 

How to remove b.partner-red.men pop-up ads [Chrome, Firefox, IE, Edge]

myantispyware.com  |  April 19, 2017

 

Please note, I have NO experience with this site, but the guide covers using the removal utilities already mentioned, and gives pretty pictures. Yes, the infection isn't the same name (probably a variation), but the instructions for removing it should be the same.

 

Secondly, you should also try to find how this infection was introduced to your system, usually through downloaded free software, and remove that source as well.

You should keep the free edition and do a weekly scan.

It looks to me that you browsed all secure porn sites then you advanced to insecure porn site.
