When posting your problem, do not run and post a ComboFix log. ComboFix is a tool that should only be run under the supervision of someone who has been trained in its use. Using it on your own can cause problems with your computer. Any posts containing CF Logs will be ignored.

To receive help, you should instead provide a detailed description of your problem, detailed word-for-word error messages that you are receiving, screenshots of strange behaviour, and your operating system. This information is much more useful to our helpers than a ComboFix log.

Hi,

I think most of you should know what I'm talking about here.. 95% of my search results in Google redirect to spam sites. Tried Malware Bytes and it worked the first time, but the virus/malware has since returned and now seems immune to MB.

Any help appreciated.

Also, perhaps unrelated, but equally annoying, Chrome now seems to be consuming several processes and making my machine work multiples times harder.. The screenshot below shows a fresh restart of Windows and loading the browser and navigating to only this thread.. Look at the corresponding amount of Chrome processes running concurrently..!
