    Windows Security Adware Threat


    I do not understand this...I am using Firefox with the STRICT setting to block ads and trackers, and how come this sneaked onto my system? Should I still consider reinstalling Windows or just leave it since Defender was able to remove it? UPDATE >> Ok, so looks like it was not coming from Firefox, but coming from MS Edge - I attached another image to see. The only thing that I am confused about, is as to why this has been detected just now since I just started using Firefox a few days ago. But then again, right before the Full Scan, Defender warned me that I needed to Scan my system. So, in that case, I may have used Edge before this thing sneaked into my system. And by the way, Edge is also set to level of STRICT under the Privacy and Security page...So I do not get why I got this.

    :)

    You can do it. Follow the steps here.

    Remove Gen:Variant.Adware virus (Easy Removal Guide)

    If it is not listed in the Control Panel, or it can't be removed there, move on to step 2. You might be able to skip the step with HitmanPro. (30 day free trial if needed)
