if i have malwarebytes and webroot do i need ccleaner

You suggest a Linux rescue disc of Kaspersky, but you don't want to mount the hard drive? What's the point? What are you trying to accomplish with the rescue disc?Īlso your OTL suggestion seems to run after Windows boots up, making your registry argument invalid. I really don't understand at all what you're saying. So I'm not sure I'm understanding your explanation why it 'wouldn't work'. Doesn't even touch the harddrive unless you mount it. The registry is part of windows and a boot disc has it's own linux kernal that runs off the computer's RAM.

Be careful with Power Eraser though as it can be quite agressive and may flag less mainstream software you want to keep, especially software used for machine control programing/control (PLC, CNC, microcontroller programing etc.). Running a rootkit scanner like Kaspersky tdsskiller or Norton Power Eraser, I use both, is not a bad idea either. When you suspect a virus/malware you should do your scanning in safe mode and I first run rkill then hit it with everything else. While you are there download RKill as well and keep it in your toolbox. If you determine it is not Conduit, try AdwCleaner from. It is not really a virus becuase it is not malicious, but it may as well be IMO, and usually will not be detected in scans. From what you are describing it sounds like Conduit to me. I agree with most of the other posters that it could be a browser extension/plugin. You are right though in that Avast and Kaspersky running together is a no no. I run Vipre Business Premium, Malwarebytes, and Superantispyware alongside each other with no problems. Webroot is not listed on my Vipre AV 'Incompatability List'. My understanding, from posts on Spiceworks I do not currently use it, is that Webroot can run alongside most other AV's as well. Malwarebytes can be run alongside most AV programs. Download and install CCleaner - Go to Tools - Startup - and you will see tabs for each browser you have installed, click on the one you use, and disable anything on that list that seems suspicious You don't have them all installed at the same time do you? You should only ever have one anti-virus program running. So what is it? And why the can't I get a handle on it and kill it?Īny advice would be greatly appreciated. I have Malwarebytes, Avast and Webroot, and Kaspersky Free Scan, and all 4 of them say everything is fine.
