    tradeadexchange


    Yesterday an unwanted redirect page showed up in Chrome, with a nasty pop-up window to eventually close it if you wanted so.
    You couldn't continue Google Chrome without clicking on it.
    Of course I didn't.
    I opened Taskmanager and shot down Chromium.

    The page was related to the malicious (virus?) XXX.tradeadexchange.com
    Warning! don't try that address ever. That's why I put in XXX.
    Searching my whole PC for any link or register-key didn't help.
    Deleted cookies (one indeed contained that link) with CC
    It didn't reappear (yet) but it's a nasty dangerous trojan if you get infected.
    It could effect all browsers. (Hijacking)
    Scanning on malware didn't help.
    So I added a rule in the Host file to block it.
    Also I added a filter rule in Ublock.
    It may help to uncheck the option of allowing less annoying adds in ABP Adblock plus./options
    However XXX.tradeadexchange.com won't be mentioned in their "allowed" list.

    Seems that EMET from Microsoft (free) could block it, or malware bytes anti-exploit kit?
    Don't use Hitman pro, it may ruin your OS register by deleting vital keys.
    YAK is also suspicious.

    Anyone suggestions?

    Found out that my Waterfox was unwantingly reset.
    All bookmarks, plugins, add-ons, cookies, templates were deleted.
    So I restored from a backup. It's running again, hopefully without that nasty malware.

    Here is a scanner I use to double or triple check for bad things. It's free but does take some time to run.

    Hi Jacee.
    You know all the good security sites.
    I use Malwarebytes, MSE, SAS, Adwcleaner, Eset online scan but I have never used Zemana AntiMalware.

    Would you suggest using Zemana also?
    Will it interfere with my other security programs?

    I clicked on this site with Chrome and immediately was confronted with a pornlink redirection new tabpage?
    Code:
    http://www.trackpremium.eu/landers/nl/page13/?s=212807908
    So I will try your suggestions tomorrow.
    Alas my backup didn't solve the problem with tradeexchange.
    Spyhunter didn't found it either. Freeware scan, but no indication or free removal off course.

    And yes tradeexchange.com was again as cookie installed.

    Thank you for your reply

    @ Bernardus, you have "adware". Your browsers have been 'hiJacked' with a naughty 'ad-on' redirect.

    @ Jack (LbB) I've never used Zemana Antimalware, so I can't tell you anything about it.

    I just wanted to alert Bernardus to the 'Trojan adware' that he's got on his computer and what it does.

    Thanks for your reply Jacee
    It's not only "naughty", I got some phishing mail too, as having won something from the local super.
    But the source came from an obscure address somewhere in the states.
    I'm using Mailwasher so I safely deleted it.
    Of course it was that same tradeexchange b*sta*rd.

    I have a clue, it may be related to tinypic.
    That's nowadays filled with al kinds of nasty popups and adds.
    Although I'm using ABP and UBlock to supress them.
    Tradeexchange seems to have infected Chrome only until now.

    I tried one of the suggested scanner-programs, which found a handful of non risk register links.
    So I decided to delete them, backed them up also, with the result that the PC never completed his restart and was hanging in "Windows is starting" display endless.
    I couldn't restore my latest backup also with a rescue disk cause my second drive must be analysed by Acronis?
    I terminated that nonsense.
    Finally disconnected my second HD and succeeded with an somewhat older backup.
    Just wait and see if the older restored backup is free of that trojan.
    There was no problem at all with the relative new second HD according to Windows check drive.

    Tried Adwarecleaner as suggested.
    It found a long loglist of suspicious reg Links and further unwanted files and software.
    Indeed most of it related to Google Chrome.
    Let is run the repair with crossed fingers.
    At least the OS started again. See what the results will be?
    Even Acronis resque disc program started without any problems.
    So I have options enough to choose another backup.

    Well it's still there and indeed related to Google Chrome.
    Adware cleaner was not successful in removing it.

    It now redirected a new tab to a gaming site.
    I never run games.
    Code:
    http://passport.game321.com/api/lp/angels/N/lp21.php
    I'm going to try ESET online.

    Funny because the backup I restored never showed that malware before.
