Also, Malwarebytes did not scan my data drive, only the OS drive. What I though was odd that it only took about 12 minutes, and scanned 300,000 or so objects, whereas Windows defender takes over an hour and scans over a million objects. All of the other sites were just my regular sites like iHeartradio,, Tom's Hardware, (Pro Tools software forum), etc.Īs said above I eventually got to Malwarebytes and was able to download the free version and ran a full scan. The only site I tried to visit to help remove a problem was. My internet connection was fine the entire time as I was listening to iHeart radio without interruption. The only way I could get back to Tom's was to exit Chrome and get back in. Luckily I was able to save what I had typed to a word document and copy/paste it here.
Update #2: After typing in the above, when I hit Submit your answer, I again couldn't connect to Tom's.
I will hit "remove selected" and see what happens. Name:, Category: Potentially Unwanted Program, Type: Registry Key, Location: HKLM\Software\Systweak
It only took about 10 minutes, compared with about 1.5 hours for a Windows Defender full scan - does that seem right?Ĭame back with one item: Scan Complete - Non-Malware Detected When I clicked on the "download" button, it initially gave me a similar unable to connect error, but after clicking reload a couple of times I eventually got it to download. Update: After typing my initial message, I went back and hit the reload button a couple of times and eventually connected to.
