Browser redirects & pop ups - what is safe to delete?
« on: October 22, 2015, 11:40:41 PM »
My Chrome browser which is set simple with no extensions has tabs popping up when clicking on various areas of some pages. The pop ups on the page have to be killed in task manager.

Many of the results are coloured orange & I'm not sure. Can someone please tell me what I should delete? I'm worried about the red results in MBR, would deleting it delete some part of the mbr I need or just the infection itself?

I attached results notepad file
thanks
