This program did not even catch the infection, although it was there. I ran “Malwarebytes”, also a free download, and it found 551 files infected. Further it quarantined them and finally removed them.
Just a thought for your readers, as this can be an extremely annoying infection to say the least. I tried several spyware detection and removal tools before I found one that worked.
Incidentally, I suspect that this malicious file was placed by a trojan virus which I detected and removed about 2 weeks ago. Got it from a gaming site referred by Facebook, so “heads up!”
Spybot got rid of all these problems after trying nearly all pop up blockers and its free. Top marks spybot.
Spybot has got rid of DoubleD twice for me now!
Yep - also got this one from a Facebook link to a games site (I know I know ! have already slapped self :-)
Kaspersky 2009 did NOT detect it on a full machine scan or prevent it getting in, many thanks to MalwareBytes’ excellent software for hopefully doing the business.
MalwareBytes found a few hundred “adware doubled” infections but when i tried to quarantine them it hung after a few files. I tried several times but it did the same and my only option was to power off the PC.
I haven’t purchased the software, but would you if that is what happenned?
Mike, actually there are big differences between trial and full version and one of that is the auto-protect. With regards in removing malware, trial can do it. Have you tried to scan in Safe Mode?
If you decided to get MalwareBytes’ Full Version for your protection and prevent being infected again. You may get it here.
