    Hi all

    problem here. we have 200 uses or so with a pak_generic.006. when you open a web browser , in the upper left hand corner you see
    - -0
    -
    the browser is then hijacked and users are having issues with the pc's.

    anyone ever see this before?

    thanks in advance.

    I haven't seen this particular one but I have seen similiar issues. In order to assist in the removal of this please follow the instructions in the below link and attach the requested logs when you finish these instructions.


    • If something does not run, write down the info to explain to us later but keep on going.
    • Do not assume that because one step does not work that they all will not.
    Notes:
    1. If you run into problems trying to run theREAD & RUN ME or any of the scans in normal boot mode. You can run steps in safe boot mode but make sure you tell us what you did later when you post logs. See the below if you do not know how to boot in safe mode:
    2. If you have problems downloading on the problem PC, download the tools on another PC and burn to a CD. Then copy them to the problem PC. You will have to skip getting updates if (and only if) your internet connection does not work. Yes you could use a flash drive too but flash drives are writeable and infections can spread to them.
