JS/Medfos removal ??
 

This started showing up in MSE scans and I've been getting a lot of redirects on searches lately. Looked it up but not really able to get rid of it with any of the methods so far, using malware bytes or roguekiller. Any advice?

trojan:JS/medfos,A is what comes up in MSE scans.

I came across this one a few weeks ago and thought it was a false positive because only MSE was picking it up. I can't be 100% sure what got rid of it because at the time I was playing around with the Emsisoft standalone scanner. The Emsisoft standalone scanner is the best way to get rid of the "Illegal Download Page" that has been hanging around for a while.
Download Emsisoft Emergency Kit 3.0 from here:
Free Anti-Malware Download | Emsisoft Anti-Malware, Online Armor Firewall, Mamutu Behavior Blocker Download it to a new folder somewhere on your machine, run the .exe (it does not install) and update it, now just run the scanner. Should you need to, you can update this app in that same way anytime, copy the folder to a pendrive and then run the updated scanner from the pendrive as a standalone scanner on other machines.

Downloaded the Emisoft, ran a full scan (long time) and it found a couple of things. I deleted them and we'll see if they "restore themselves" soon. Thanks for the link.

If I keep having issues, I think I will just reformat. Haven't done it for a long time so may just be as well to do it and clean out the garbage. Told the wife I should just build a new one. That went over big.

Seems I read here before that if you have system restore enabled, the bad critter can attach itself in there.

That could be, however I don't actually have it "enabled". Have always been able to just go back a few days and it worked fine. When I first noticed issues I attempted to do a restore point and never could get it to go back to an earlier time. Just seemed that something was blocking it from going back.

I actually think it came through in a malicious email saying something about a FedEx delivery notice or something like that. My wife opened the email as we actually did have a FedEx delivery coming. Since then, I see 3 or 4 a week, sometimes more, in my spam folder in gmail. Also, emails lately about an airline reservation confirmation. Don't do those as my daughter is a flight attendant and we fly for free so I don't make any ticket purchases.

Do you use the "Filters" in Gmail?

Had not been but am now. Have filtered those 2 but seems that since I have/had this Trojan on the system, filters don't actually filter everything.

I chunked my gmail account the other day. I always felt someone standing behind me watching. There is plenty about them negative to read, but you may not find it on google. I don't go near them.
