    Hey guys

    I had malware on my compuetre and I used cleaning tools like ( AdwCleaner, HitmanPro, Malwarebytes ..) to get rid of it and almost succeeded .. But after that, a strange problem appeared in the browsers.. All browsers (Firefox, Chrome ,Microsoft edge ) when I visit some websites such as (Steam, SpeedTest .. ) I see ads even with adblocker was activated !

    Example :

    I did everything ... I completely uninstalled all the browsers and re-installed but still appear

    I scanned the system with lots of programs but nothing was found!

    Then I checked the JavaScript elements in browser and found this :

    I don't understand JavaScript but I tried to remove it but it comes back

    Also noticed that it may be related to the cookies, Ads often appear after cookies have been removed or when the browser closed for minutes and disappear after a while

    Please help

    Did you happen to save the log from Zoek so you can post it? It could help other people if they ever have the same issue.

    Thanks! I have attached the original log here in a ZIP file. The original text log could not be attached due to some embedded characters that are seen in various folder names. Almost like folder corruption or encryption. Nothing major was observed in the log so perhaps just the cleaning of some minor junk addressed the problem.
