Anti Virus System Pro - Fake Pop-Ups

Last night I got some pop-ups for Anti Virus System Pro, I've run Super Anti Spyware, MalwareBytes, Spy-Bot and AVG9. Thought I had it removed, but I am still getting redirects on FireFox.

Not sure if this is related, but I cannot boot to safe mode either, it hangs at MUP.sys and then BSOD.

Windows Defender also will not start automatically, even though I reset it to start with windows each time I reboot.

I've followed the prep guide, but Root Repeal hangs while scanning files and locks up the machine.

My other logs are attached.

Thanks for your time.

After several attempts with various tools, I've removed Anti-Virus Pro. BUT, I still cannot boot to safe mode and most links from Google have been hijacked.

Hello ,
And to the Bleeping Computer Malware Removal Forum. My name is Elise and I'll be glad to help you with your computer problems.

I will be working on your malware issues, this may or may not solve other issues you may have with your machine.

-----------------------------------------------------------
If you have since resolved the original problem you were having, we would appreciate you letting us know. If not please perform the following steps below so we can have a look at the current condition of your machine.

If you have not done so, include a clear description of the problems you're having, along with any steps you may have performed so far.

If you have already posted a DDS log, please do so again, as your situation may have changed.
Use the 'Add Reply' and add the new log to this thread.

-------------------------------------------------------------
Please be patient and I'd be grateful if you would note the following

• The cleaning process is not instant. DDS logs can take some time to research, so please be patient with me. I know that you need your computer working as quickly as possible, and I will work hard to help see that happen.
• Please reply using the Add/Reply button in the lower right hand corner of your screen. Do not start a new topic.
• The logs that you post should be pasted directly into the reply. Only attach them if requested or if they do not fit into the post.
• Unfortunately, if I do not hear back from you within 5 days, I will be forced to close your topic. If you still need help after I have closed your topic, send me or a moderator a personal message with the address of the thread or feel free to create a new one.

In the meantime please, do NOT install any new programs or update anything unless told to do so while we are fixing your problem

If you still need help, please include the following in your next reply

• A detailed description of your problems
• A new DDS log (don't forget attach.txt)
• GMER log

Please give me some time to review your logs and take the steps necessary with you to get your machine back in working order clean and free of malware.

Thanks and again sorry for the delay.

I thought that I did everything right, followed the directions, in my original post for help. Yet, it took 14 days for a response. Is there something I could have done better to ensure a quicker response?

I've since given up on it. Knowing I would never truly be rid of the virus, I DBANed the hard drive and reinstalled everything.

Thank you for your time.

No, unfortunately there have been posted many logs and few helpers available. We all are volunteers here and all have a real life as well.

This topic is now closed.
