Administrators Marcos 5,074 Posted December 19, 2018 Administrators Share Posted December 19, 2018 If you select Clean is the PUA detected again? If so, please copy and paste the appropriate record from the Detected threats log. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hank 0 Posted December 20, 2018 Author Share Posted December 20, 2018 (edited) Hi Marcos If I scan again, Eset does not find it. However Spigot. B is still in my computer. I have posted the log files to Eset. Edited December 20, 2018 by hank a second thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itman 1,659 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 It's a browser hijacker. Malwarebytes has an article on it here: https://blog.malwarebytes.com/puppum/2017/02/spigot-browser-hijackers/ . Look in Control Panel -> Programs and Features for anything installed that matches any of the names listed in the Cleaning section of the article.

hank 0 Posted December 20, 2018 Author Share Posted December 20, 2018 Hi Itman I have tried both Iset and Malwarebytes. Iset found Spigot.B once and failed to clean it. Malwarebytes didn't find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
