Adware Detection

darkalex30 asked:


Recently my antivirus (AVG free version 9.0.851) haa detected two cases of something called Adware Generic4.AKLW in the directory c:\Program Files (x86)\ Search Settings\ SearchSettings.exe, whenever I try to remove this or send it to the virus vault it asks me if I want to force threat removal, and then comes up with a pop-up box saying that the file could not be healed because the action was interrupted by the user, does anyone have any idea what’s going on here?

I downloaded a torrent off the web and when i opened it it infected my computer. I ran webroot spysweeper with antivirus multiple times. it detected a virus and deleted it. when i scan my comp now it shows up with adware everytime. it quarantines it but yet my computer is still acting funny with alot of popups and slow download speeds. i cant restore my computer cause no restore point has been created. i need help fast!!!

Ok so my computer has been going SUPER slow & freezing constantly. I use Avira & malwarebytes. The problem actually started when i downloaded malwarebytes. But idk if that’s what it is or if if its just coincidence or not. But anyway, i scanned my computer & i had 1 infected object with malware so i clicked remove. Did this remove it from my computer? & then i did a scan with Avira & it said one detection… But all of this came up when i clicked virus information… No. Name Type Danger Description Detection added
