FastEddie57 Posted November 11, 2017 Posted November 11, 2017 Hi, I recently started having these websites open up. It says my computer is infected. I am currently running McAfee stinger and it already found a trojan named artemis. It says it has deleted it. It is still running the scan and I am still getting the popups with the message noted about. I downloaded malwarebytes and it says it is installed, but when i click on the icon it won't open the application. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.
Administrator Tarun Posted November 15, 2017 Administrator Posted November 15, 2017 Try and boot safe mode without networking, then try to open Malwarebytes. I'd also recommend trying AdwCleaner.
FastEddie57 Posted November 17, 2017 Author Posted November 17, 2017 I have downloaded AdwCleaner but the system doesn't let me install it. I am getting a ton of malware, adware popups. Almost every few seconds.
Administrator Tarun Posted November 17, 2017 Administrator Posted November 17, 2017 AdwCleaner shouldn't need to install, just run. Try safe mode without networking and see if you can get it and Malwarebytes to run.
FastEddie57 Posted November 18, 2017 Author Posted November 18, 2017 I tried it in safe mode and it worked. I removed several rootkit and trojan kovter malwares. PC is working better. Thank you for your assistance.
Administrator Tarun Posted November 18, 2017 Administrator Posted November 18, 2017 Glad to help! Give the usual programs found in AMT/PC Cleanup a run in Normal Mode too.
