ad.yieldmanager removal

Welcome to Major Geeks!

We did not ask you to attach the individual logs in the MGtools folder. We asked you to attach the C:\MGlogs.zip file. Please attach it.

User SUPERAntiSpyware log will be in the below folder. Please attach it as requested. We need to be sure that you are using the correct version of the program.
C:\Users\Dick\AppData\Roaming\SUPERAntiSpyware\SUPERAntiSpyware\Logs

What browser are you using when you are getting popups from ad.yieldmanager?

 

This is not malware. It is just advertising techniques. There is no malware to remove. Things like this are quite common today. The standard work arounds are things like you did ( opt outs when possible ), popup blockers, and adding URLs to your host file and also adding them to your Restricted Zone. But these are not considered malware and no amount of scanning is going to find anything to remove related to them.

You did not disable Spybot's Teatimer as requested in the READ & RUN ME. You need to do this to avoid conflicts with Windows Defender.

Your logs are clean but you should uninstall your old version of Sun Java and update to the current version.


If you are not having any other malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:

1. We recommed you keep SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for scanning/removal of malware. Unless you purchase them, they provide no protection. They do not use any significant amount of resources ( except a little disk space ) until you run a scan.
2. If we had you use ComboFix, uninstall ComboFix (This uninstall will only work as written if you installed ComboFix on your Desktop like we requested.)
   • Click START then RUN and enter the below into the run box and then click OK. Note the quotes are required
   • "%userprofile%\Desktop\combofix" /u
     • Notes: The space between the combofix" and the /u, it must be there.
     • This will uninstall ComboFix and also reset hidden files and folders settings back to Windows defaults.
   • Delete the C:\combofix folder from combofix (if it exists)
3. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
4. If running Vista, 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. You can delete the C:\MGtools folder and the C:\MGtools.exe file. You can also delete the C:\MGlogs.zip
7. If you are running Vista, Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:
   • Refer to the cleaning steps in the READ ME for your Window version and see the steps to Disable System Restore which will flush your Restore Points.
   • Then reboot and Enable System Restore to create a new clean Restore Point.
8. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
