OtShot, 24x7 Help, and FREE Computer Backup

    My son downloads Minecraft modpacks from a variety of file hosting sites which typically have a number of deceptive "download" buttons. Recently he let me know that our desktop has acquired a bunch of malware. The ones I recognize are OtShot and 24x7 Help, but there's also a popup saying "Reminder: Your Computer is Not Backed Up, Backup Your Files Online Today FREE Computer Backup Available".

    All these survived running the Win 7 Malware Removal/Cleaning Procedure as per the forums. My logs are attached. I've restarted the computer since then but not taken any other actions.

    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Now run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista or Win7, don't double click, use right click and select Run As Administrator).


    Then attach the below logs:

    Make sure you tell me how things are working now!

    I must have attached one of the older logs to my message, as those registry entries are already gone from my RogueKiller list. Here is a guaranteed-new RK log.

    What issues are you still having, if any?

    AdChoice appears in Chrome browser and FREE computer backup window pops up at startup.

    While you have Google Chrome open, type this into the address bar and press ENTER: chrome://chrome/settings/

    From here you should be able to remove any settings related to AddChoice.

    And you can use the start up CPL I linked to you for the other.

    CPL took care of MyPCBackup and PCFixSpeed, but the AdChoices popups remain. A screenshot is attached.

    Uninstall Chrome, run CCleaner and reinstall. Tell me if that fixed it.

    That seems to have done the trick. Thanks!

    You are most welcome.

    If you are not having any other malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:
    1. We recommend you keep Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for scanning/removal of malware. You can uninstall RogueKiller and HitManPro.
    2. Go back to step 4 of the READ ME and renable your Disk Emulation software with Defogger if you had disabled it.
    3. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
    4. If running Vista or Win 7, it is time to make sure you have reenabled UAC by double clicking on the C:\MGtools\enableUAC.reg file and allowing it to be added to the registry.
    5. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis.
    6. Goto the C:\MGtools folder and find the MGclean.bat file. Double click on this file to run this cleanup program that will remove files and folders
      related to MGtools and some other items from our cleaning procedures.
    7. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link


    Malware removal from a National Chain = $149
    Malware removal from MajorGeeks = $0
