Think I picked up some kind of malware

Off a website with images. Yes I was looking at pictures of pretty girls. What's the world coming to?

Anyway when I logged off something happened.
All the usual places where people tend to go FB Google other social networking sites yadda yadda all returned as unsecure. Won't let me log on to them.

Running Firefox 61.[sumpin]
- - - - - - -Doesn't happen in Explorer - - - - - - - -

No option to add exception is available.
Interestingly this site is not affected, Ubuntu & Linux forums are not affected, neither are most industrial business sites which leads me to think it is site specific based on whatever the hacker built it to affect.



I have nuked Firefox three times done a Forced uninstall using IUobit and Revo. So I am sort of pretty sure that it's not in a FF Exe command.

I have run Malwarebytes, Hirman Pro, Rkill, Kaspersky TDS rootkit tool,

I found nothing.
I have an Acronis backup. So I can get whatever data I may think is recent and nuke the drive and call it a L-O-N-G day. But I'd really rather nuke the bug that I am sure I picked up.
Got any ideas?

Do you use proxy or VPN?
Check browsers or windows internet settings.

Clear your DNS cache and look at your hosts file. Other than that the only thing I can think of is you have your profile left over after FF uninstall.

I'd use Sandboxie for your browser so you don't get online STDs. Check out their website and forum. It's free for the browser only. I use it all the time in replace of using the very cumbersome NoScript add-on. Albeit, I have my Sandboxie install highly customized so that nothing sticks except browser related things like bookmarks and add-ons.

Slick little bugger. Malware bytes Adware scanner picked it up. I should have guessed from the ridiculous splash screen that an adware scanner would be the proper tool.

Kernel exploits easily by-pass Sandboxie!

Might not get past Faronics Anti-executable or perhaps Shadow Defender. I do use Spy the Spy as well.

I've tested both Anti-executable and Shadow Defender in VMware and tossed a bunch of malware at it up to and including ransomware and nothing got past.
