Adware removal help

[nubdublub 0]

Hello, I have been having an annoyance with a popup recently to a website called "aftomedia". I've tried scanning multiple times and I've tried downloading malwarebytes to find it to no avail. 

 

The urls are always a little different, here are two examples: (I don't know how the website works so ill remove the protocol and the period before com)

yvr.aftomedia com/afm/mF3fGd?site=imgur.com&crid=842&sourceid=adtech&xwsid=9432-194735&auction_price=0.148&lat=0.0&lon=0.0&udid=&cb=6822955

But the IP remains the same

 

208.43.228.36

 

I saw there was a post on here where someone was given a specialized removal software from the IP and I hope someone has one here. Please help me figure out how to remove this adware

Hi @nubdublub,

 

Usually there was included in some software installed.

As first step I suggest you go to list of installed software and that one is not wanted or unknown for you.

 

You do the scan and goes clean, as second step reset >all< your installed browsers.

 

Third step is do right-clic on all shortcuts for browser and check the address calling the .exe file.

 Usually there is something added who calls another web-address or something.

 

Four step, use a program to clean the registry browsers start page or do it manually.

 

By the way at this point you realize there is no malware active just modified browsers

 

Let me know how goes the cleaning.

 

BTW2, is good idea to clean your temporal folders.
