ACtion 0 Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 I started getting popup advertisements first in Google and now even when I'm not on the web. It shows in the popups "utmp3.cc". Research shows it's an adware. Has anyone had this and is there a simple or easy way to clean your computer? Can ESET clean it? I've not been able to find anything in help.

itman 1,538 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 (edited) First, make sure you have "Enable detection of potentially unwanted applications, unsafe applications, and suspicious applications" enabled in the Eset GUI Detection Engine section. If so, did you manually override one of those detections and install some software you wanted? Run a full system scan as administrator. If Eset detects nothing or even if it does so, then run a scan using AdwCleaner. You can download it here: https://www.malwarebytes.com/adwcleaner/ . This should clean up any remnants. Finally, it is recommended to reset your browser settings back to default value. Edited December 16, 2018 by itman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
