Row Report post Posted August 3, 2015 Hello, I am having lots of problems with ads popping up and slowing down my computer. They seem to originate in malware called Getprivate. I have tried various things to try to remove it but with no success: the Superantispyware removes the threats after a scan but they immediately reappear. I cannot identify the program in the Uninstall Programs option nor in the running processes in order to delete it. There seems to be much discussion recently on this malware on the web, but also with suspicious links, procedures and indications to scan computer with Spyhunter and then buy it. Help would be greatly appreciated! Quick scan log attached in case it is helpful. SUPERAntiSpyware Scan Log.pdf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GuiltySpark Report post Posted August 3, 2015 Hi Row, Those threats are just tracking cookies nothing to worry about there. However, Spyhunter is rogueware (snake oil) do not go near it. Please download and run adwcleaner, Select Scan Then select Clean Computer will restart and give you a text file please attach that text here. Please download Farbar Scan and Recovery Tool FRST 32bit FRST 64bit Make sure the "Additional.txt" box is checked and select Scan Post both logs back here. Thanks.
