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?
