G+_Rud Dog Posted July 18, 2015 Author Share Posted July 18, 2015 Wayne Hobbins agree with all of what you say and will download malware today, had to do some homework before moving forward. As for the approach you suggested : "Uninstall all one at a time and restart Chrome till the problem goes away." This malware, which is distilling down to the culprit, is not a constant more like a variable. It happened months ago then suddenly as quickly as it appeared it vanished (sounds like a line from a a movie) . Now it is back:) So isolating the culprit might only be solved using malware remover you suggested. As a work around have ask my wife to use Safari for a while till we get this nailed down. Oh and wanted to post a pic showing what AVG found later yesterday after running another long scan. Unfortunately don't know how to append or add a pic to these notes.

G+_Rud Dog Posted July 18, 2015 Author Share Posted July 18, 2015 What I am doing is selecting photos from the selection drop down in gmail located in the upper right hand corner it is an array of 3 x 3 squares. From there I open the Phones icon and once open my uploaded pic show up. Then select the pic in question it opens as a single pic and I copy the URL at that point. So don't know what makes the difference in the URL. The differences are easy to see but not sure why I am getting different url? > Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Rud Dog Posted July 18, 2015 Author Share Posted July 18, 2015 First off spell check photo was changed to phone or I typed it wrong not sure but yes I am on a pc. Secondly if you go to the pic so only one pic is shown on the screen and copy the URL from the menu area it gives you the this link If you use copy url from the right click function it gives you the below link don't know why they would be different but problem solved.

G+_Rud Dog Posted July 18, 2015 Author Share Posted July 18, 2015 Wayne Hobbins it was a long road to travel to find out what was going on guess what most bothers me is the fact AVG did not automatically find these on its own. Will have to check the setting and see if maybe I have it on manual scan but would think it would be set dynamically at install. Either way feel alot better knowing what I was dealing with and want to thank all that responded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Rud Dog Posted July 19, 2015 Author Share Posted July 19, 2015 Wayne Hobbins after running AVG and removing what it found and deleted decided to download, install and run Malwarebytes. Here are the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
