Browser Malware
My chrome has been embroidled in "trustedurf browser virus" e.g. whenever I open chrome the homepage is some ad page redirected via trustedurf. After googling that it's a malware I used malwarebytes to clean my pc. But now instead of some ad page chrome's file directory in windows is shown. I can always open a new tab and close the first tab but it's getting annoying.
This helped me last time my browser got infected http://www.malwareremovalguides.info...google-chrome/

Download JRT, do the thing. Then reset your browser, I had field days with spyware and adware most of the time and I came prepared. Then download Panda Cloud Scanner and do full system scan with it
Afterwards, download CCleaner and clean up registries that shouldn't exist, in case this virus had some affect on your OS. Open CMD as administrator, type sfc/scannow

uninstall download manager ( firefox addon or chrome addon ie youtube downloader n such) and then clean the system using software .
You can reset chrome from it's advanced settings. And check out the chrome shortcuts' properties. Some malwares add extra parameters to start menu and desktop shortcut for chrome and firefox. Happened to me before.
Which is why these days there are extra counter measures against them like Adwcleaner or Junkware removal toolOriginally Posted by Swapnil
I don't wanna install any extra software so this is what I'm gonna do:
1st, I'm gonna reset the browser from advanced settings. But what about my bookmarks? How do I sync it or sth?
2nd, I'll fix registry with Ccleaner but how will it fix that? Will ccleaner edit the corrupted registry if any to its default values?
3rd, I'll run sfc/ scannow command
4th, if any of these fail will uninstall work? My guess not really
At least malwarebytes failed to fix that then.
Nope, if you do not find and remove the actual malware from your system, everything you clean and repair and change will get changed back to the dirty state again. You will at least need malwarebytes before doing these.
You can export your bookmarks to html file from the bookmark manager. CTRL+SHIFT+O then Click the "Organize" on the top, and you'll see the option there. Google sync is also a good alternative.
CCleaner doesn't repair registry, I wonder if any of the registry tools does. They simply delete the wrong registry entries.
Search for tronscript and run in safemode. It will get rid of virus and malware.
^Especially Safemode, sadly for me PPPoe doesn't work well for safemode network
About a month ago my friend's PC got infected with some malware. MalwareBytes did not fix it for him, I asked him to try Kaspersky and it fixed everything. Worth a shot I guess?
Best way to even find an untraceable virus is using AVG Rescue CD bootable, if from USB you can update it by manually downloading the database before updating from file in boot
