    Still getting popups for Chromium malware


    If you look at my previous threads I started, I'm still getting malware about installing Chromium browser. It's not a legitimate popup. I thought I deleted the software and I ran all my antiviruses. Here are some screenshots. The one is a screenshot of the popup. The other is a screenshot of the process in task manager, and the third is what pops up when I click OK on the popup. Any help? UPDATE: I know mshta.exe is a legitimate process because I Googled it. But I don't know why it is popping up. Do I need to delete it?

    Trying to uninstall Chromium

    I am trying to uninstall Chromium and I get the message unable to uninstall due to Chrome windows still being open but I have closed everything down in order to uninstall the application. I am trying to uninstall Chromium and Chrome. I didn't realize
    Chromium was part of a WinZip download now I have popups replicating etc.

    chromium browser

    The question may not have been asked properly. There is a popup malware window advertising an automatic update for Chromium browser (not Chrome) and either the Yahoo or Bing search bar. I have the same problem. The only way to delete the popup window
    is through Task Manager. However, it periodically pops up again. Windows Defender does not get rid of it. CCleaner is also not effective against it. I would like to find the root program so I can delete it, as it is very annoying. Any help you might provide
    would be appreciated.

    From your Firewall block mshta.exe file from inbound and outbound internet connections.

    Where did you download Chromium from? Why are you using Chromium rather than Chrome stable?

    What other anti virus are you using other than MBM?

    I don't use Chromium. This popped up after my nephew downloaded some teamspeak thing called discord. He's 10 and he downloads things. I use Avast free and the paid version of MBM

    Windows Script Host (WSH) is usually responsible for executing random stuff, you can block it like this:
    Code: reg add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows Script Host\Settings" /v "Enabled" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f[/quote] I have actually that executable blocked, because it is commonly used by scripting malware.
    Note, this only blocks it for the current user, if it is run by system, it will still be executed.
    Code: reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer" /v "DisallowRun" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\DisallowRun" /v "1" /t REG_SZ /d "mshta.exe" /f[/quote] There is also this multipurpose beauty, since the default popup blocker sucks these days anyway.
