    Issue:
    Various websites are opening up automatically every 20 minutes approximately since last 3 or 4 days. I did try to install some softwares that day and this issue started ever since.

    The websites seems to be redirected from adplus.fr/

    Some of the URL of these websites are
    Steps taken:
    1. Disabled Spybot's teatimer.
    2. Disabled User Account Control.
    3. Uninstalled Virtual Clonedrive.
    4. Ran CCleaner.
    5. Ran the recommended tools.

    Apart from your instructions I also ran scans with Bitdefender which is installed in the PC and with Eset online scanner before the above steps.

    The logs as required are attached. Kindly give your valuable advice. Thanks.

    I am not seeing much in the way of malware left in your logs. Rerun Hitman and have it remove all the PUP's. Reboot and rescan with Hitman and attach the new log. Be sure to tell me how things are running.

    Problem persists.

    Correction on my earlier post: The websites seems to be redirected from adplusplus.fr/adengine/getad.php?uid=ygGIr3AkIi&soft=EasyVideoPlayer ( Not adplus.fr/).

    Hitman Pro logs attached

    EasyVideoPlayer is seen in the installed programs list. ;) It should be uninstalled.

    Current Status: Problem is resolved.

    @ TimW - It was happening in Google Chrome, the default browser, but I guess it doesn't matter now that it's resolved. Thanks for your help.

    @chaslang - I overlooked Easy VideoPlayer in Install/Uninstall programs list. How silly of me, isn't it? I have never used this program, so it never occurred to me that it's already installed. Anyways, thanks for pointing in the right direction.

    You're 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.
    2. Renable your Disk Emulation software with Defogger if you had disabled it in step 4 of the READ & RUN ME.
    3. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis. If you don't see it or it will not uninstall, don't worry about it. Just move on to the next step.
    4. If running Vista, Win 7 or Win 8, 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. Now goto the C:\MGtools folder and find the MGclean.bat file. Double click ( if running Vista, Win7, or Win 8 Right Click and Run As Administrator ) 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.
    6. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
    7. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
