eDeals Adware/Malware

[Bounty_Bam]

Not sure if this is in the right section of the Hexus forum..

My problem is eDeals.
I have tried everything to get rid of this nuisance. There are ads popping up everywhere, as you can see from these screenshots:






I have tried:

CloudSystemBooster
HitManPro
Malwarebytes
..and a few other free trusted programs.


CloudSystemBooster actually found the .exe on it's "Remove Programs" feature (which wasn't visible via the Windows Control Panel method) and the problem was solved for a few minutes. Then after opening a new tab on Chrome the adverts were back at large..

I've also uninstalled Google Chrome along with all of its credentials - but still no luck.


My only other resort is to reinstall Windows. But I would like to avoid that in possible!
If anyone has any ideas I would love to hear them!

Try www.eset.com/online-scanner, it seems to pick up and get rid of quite a lot of these kind of things. Check your Add-ons in IE as well. And your startup items in msconfig. I dealt with a buzzit infection which was similar to this, and it has a startup entry to re-install if you got rid of it.

I know you say you've tried malwarebytes, but having fixed a few family members' computers with similar problems, I've always booted into safe mode and then run a scan. It has always worked for me.
