Little BabyDoll Christine Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Yesterday, I had a problem with "Arcade Park" hijacking my browser. sticking ads and video ads, especially on ebay. I checked my anti-malware and found that my MalwareBytes had gone down and out of date. so I got a new one and get rid of the problem Now, my link to DD is through the View New Content with filtered forums. Since last night, that page has showed no new content. I checked my forum filters and everything was in order. This would imply that there has been no new content on about 10 forums, including "Our Lifestyle". Now the odds of that being true are miniscule I must conclude that MalwareBytes has done or is doing something that messed up my reception of new content Any help and advice is much appreciated Link to comment
DiapermanAl Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Maybe uninstall and reinstall it? Link to comment
AwakenEvil Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Never seen malwarebytes cause any issues... Link to comment
Little BabyDoll Christine Posted December 9, 2014 Author Share Posted December 9, 2014 I do not want to uninstall/reinstall unless I really need to Link to comment
WakkoWannaBe Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Run a custom scan with your anti-malware program, making sure that it looks for rootkits. Then restart your system (it should prompt you to automatically do this). The scan may take some time, but I'd imagine that this would fix your issue. Link to comment
Little BabyDoll Christine Posted December 9, 2014 Author Share Posted December 9, 2014 I did a custom scan as best I could. The print is soooo tiny I cannot read it well anyway the problem still exists Link to comment
WakkoWannaBe Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 huh. Well that was my best shot - sorry Christine =/. Link to comment
Nat Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Maybe fulldiapers can help. Link to comment
beallucanb Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 There is a new version of Ad Blocker called Adblocker plus. Link to comment
Little BabyDoll Christine Posted December 9, 2014 Author Share Posted December 9, 2014 Had that for ages. This was a piece of malware called Arcade Park Link to comment
Repaid1 Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 System restore for two days ago, boot and run Malware again for traces of virus, if not you should be good to go. Link to comment
Little BabyDoll Christine Posted December 10, 2014 Author Share Posted December 10, 2014 I do not know how to do that Link to comment
Repaid1 Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Easy peeezy, I will assume Win7 as your OS.. If not a simple google will guide you through it, IF your more of a text based person, I print things out first, but if you prefer I'm sure there are tons of youtube videos to help. Link to comment
Little BabyDoll Christine Posted December 10, 2014 Author Share Posted December 10, 2014 Stytem Restore is turned off and I cannot read the video that windows presents to turn it on as there is no audio and the print on the screenshots is too fine for me to read Link to comment
Baby Brian Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Aren't computers great? Until they aren't. Link to comment
Little BabyDoll Christine Posted December 10, 2014 Author Share Posted December 10, 2014 Oh? adorable When I use start, I get All Prgrams but no Accessories I went through the control panel and found out that the System Restore was not turned ou. I went to the windoes video but the screenshots were unreable: print too fine Presuming System Restore is not an option. what next? I do not have this trouble with my tiaras, or my dollies Link to comment
Fulldiaper Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Malwarebytes is NOT the problem. It may have removed something infected that needs to be reinstalled, but that's not likely either. What version of Windows are you running? Link to comment
Little BabyDoll Christine Posted December 10, 2014 Author Share Posted December 10, 2014 7 I was afraid of that Link to comment
AwakenEvil Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 If you still have problems and want some help this weekend I can help you if you have a TeamViewer account. Link to comment
Little BabyDoll Christine Posted December 10, 2014 Author Share Posted December 10, 2014 I do not have that Link to comment
WakkoWannaBe Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Did your hijacking happen around the same time that you updated or installed a new program? If so you might consider uninstalling that program, followed by a scan with your anti-virus. As a quick aside (and I'm sure everyone knows this), if I remember correctly MalwareBytes isn't an anti-virus program but an anti-malware program. You won't weed out the same types of weeds with an anti-virus as you will with anti-malware. So, run anti-virus scans as well! Link to comment
Little BabyDoll Christine Posted December 10, 2014 Author Share Posted December 10, 2014 That which claimed to be updating was "Arcade Park" and the frame surrounding the ads said "Arcade Park", and when I uninstalled it, the hijacking still occurred. That is why I got MalwareBytes although I did have it, it was dormant for over a year Link to comment
Little BabyDoll Christine Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share Posted December 17, 2014 I still have my problem and this thread appears to have died Link to comment
AwakenEvil Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Have you tried resetting your browser back to defaults? Link to comment
