The other day I was messing around trying to find a crack for a game (I know I know) and being tired I clicked on something that in the back of my mind I knew I shouldn't. Well that escalated quickly all of a sudden I have shortcuts for a new browser ,speed up my pc and a tech support number for "premium support". I immediately started up Malwarebytes and it found over 1000 suspicious files and malware and pups.
I clicked finish and it quarantined everything and I restarted there were some remnants hanging around so I ran JRT,Adaware and another one can't remember the name.They all found something and supposedly deleted.However when I opened Chrome it started up with some Russian page and now the settings little window down by the clock was gone and the icon for Chrome looked like a blank text file.At one point I thought I had it licked left for an hour and came back with a whole new set of crap lol. Now I'm getting desperate I have over a hundred things installed and a reset wasn't an option and I didn't have a current back up as I have no room at the moment.
So I think to myself I have system restore turned on which I have never had it work for me since Win 7 and chose a point the day before and wonder of wonders it worked perfectly. Win 10 I guess has made Restore actually functional.
Yeah I tried resetting Chrome and sync and the one adware cleaner I believe cleans up short cuts and neither worked completely.I'll keep that one in mind if there's a repeat.
