Windows 10: Mennythanks

Please, please help me with the Mennythanks virus. I have tried everything that I can find on the topic, and nothing works...Malwarebytes, Sophose, Hitman Pro...I have a new computer to set up but don't want the virus to migrate to the new one when I transfer all of my files to it. Please help!

:)

 

AppMaster and AppSync


It looked like to me that ZipCruncher was a cover for Mennythanks...it was a mess

I use Avast, & Malwarebytes

 

AppMaster and AppSync


I was able to remove AppMaster...I guess it was tied to something called ZipCruncher. It looks like AppSync is also tied to that but I cannot get it off the computer.

Got them both off, had to use Revo Free...One program was called ZipCruncher and another was called Mennythanks...

Doesn't sound like good stuff.

Can't tell if ZipCruncher is legit or not, but something about it does seem off. From what I can tell Mennythanks, however, is DEFINITELY trouble, and is qualified as browser redirect, browser hijack, and adware source at various malware tracking sites and even in an answers.microsoft.com thread. Sounds like you were right to get rid of them. What are you using for Malware protection? Have you run a scan recently? You might want to try the Malwarebytes or Trend Micro Housecall scanners to see if they detect anything.
