Popup website

What website pops up? I can see a popup when you open a browser but not when you turn on the computer unless something is set in startups that was not uninstalled. (That's why I don't add/remove programs; I use Revo Uninstaller to remove all the bits and pieces scattered all over the computer).

 

Google show nothing on "The one website.com".

Hi

Thing is while deleting a registry key from malware are you really sure you are free from malware??

A trip via the read and run me + posting a thread in malware forum is advisable just to make sure, you maybe full free from what you have just done but, I personally wouldnt be, I would run multiple security apps and seek advice.

 

I agree JoeRay12 and with plodr's link to a legit site from a search only aims more at malware. it may not be but you never know. Thing is not putting yourself in this malware position in the first place as in #2

 

Sadly application that you scanned with "may" not find all malware, hence the custom tools that the RRMF guide has, that where created by Chaslang, these dig deeper than traditional tools like AVG and MBAM, but need a expert eye to review them

If I was worried by malware I would not fully trust a AIO scanner, I would trust an expert in malware removal as they not slight variances in log files to what should or should not be resident. While you may not now have malware visable, you may have a compromised link into your PC. This may just have been a browser hijack, seems strange on multiple browsers but never know.

Personally I would RRMF and attach logs in the Malware forum for Chas, Tim, Emms et al to look over

 

Yeah looks like a browser hijacker and at times these cannot be removed by the normal AV apps, but need a bit of manual help, good luck in malware forum and I know the folks in there will sort you out.

At times you can remove parts of these but there is one remaining bit that just recovers the hijack again, sneaky buggers.

Thanks for the image that helps others and me in an ID of this.

 

Hi

Just as a thought and looking at this hijacker, do you have this folder c:\program files\theonewebsite.com

also do you have c:\documents and settings\all users\start menu\programs\startup\home.url (Home url)?

Delete both and look in add/remove but this does not negate using the RRMF and having the malware folk look at your logs as with one malware infection generally comes a few tailgaters.

 

Yes, now that I see the popup, I searched again and this hijacker has been around since 2009!
I found these instructions from 2009

 

I'd still head to the malware section and do all the scans and post results.

Just because you got rid of this, it does not guarantee there isn't something else lurking in the computer.
