Posted November 11, 20177 yr 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.
November 15, 20177 yr Administrator Try and boot safe mode without networking, then try to open Malwarebytes. I'd also recommend trying AdwCleaner.
November 17, 20177 yr Author 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.
November 17, 20177 yr Administrator AdwCleaner shouldn't need to install, just run. Try safe mode without networking and see if you can get it and Malwarebytes to run.
November 18, 20177 yr Author 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.
November 18, 20177 yr Administrator Glad to help! Give the usual programs found in AMT/PC Cleanup a run in Normal Mode too.
