Mike45 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichCor Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisKC Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnymo Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 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.

You could probably run the Adwcleaner again and find a few more adware packages too. https://www.howtogeek.com/171924/how-to-reset-your-web-browser-to-its-default-settings/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 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.
