Problem description: I have a tenacious link redirect malware in Chrome. It seems to be using some combination of cookies (disabling 3rd party cookies seems to stop it) and javascript (js hasn't really been working since I got the thing. I think it's trying to hijack it and failing, but is also preventing js from working correctly. For example, most of imgur doesn't work and here on SA, clicking the top left of thumbnailed pictures does nothing.). I've attached what Malwarebytes finds, removing it only lasts until I next launch Chrome. Attempted fixes: I've run RKill, then Malwarebytes, then ADWCleaner, then JRT after restart. The only program that finds anything is Malwarebytes and it only removes what crops up after the thing regenerates itself when I run Chrome for a bit. Running Malwarebytes in Safe mode didn't turn up anything extra. I've also run Housecall and Rootkitbuster with no luck. I have a Hijackthis log if somebody wants to look at it. Recent changes: Nothing out of the ordinary I can think of, I must have gone to a particularly sketchy site by accident and gotten something that made it past uBlock Origin and Ghostery. -- Operating system: Win7 64bit Location: USA I have Googled and read the FAQ: Yes Zenzirouj fucked around with this message at 19:08 on Jun 26, 2016 |

Do other browsers on the same computer have this problem as well? If they do, you probably want to run TDSSKiller and check the DNS server you're using, some malware can even get into your router and set a custom DNS server for your entire household. If other browsers work fine, you need to completely uninstall Chrome and also delete your profile which is stored somewhere in Application Data.

Thanks, I'll give that tool a try and then look into what Grapeshot said.

What if WDO fails to update after it boots? It refuses to scan without a definition update, but all the update attempts keep failing. The download/install bar keeps moving up but only produces the following errors: code:

OK, will try on a friend's computer. My only other option -- work laptop -- is locked down hard and refuses to boot to USB. Smart money is always on "MS fuckery" though. Zenzirouj: didn't mean to hijack the thread, but I remembered this subforum exists and your post in the Chrome thread after mine on the same topic
