I use Duck 95% of the time as my browser. Lately it's been freezing up frequently. Then a few days ago I started getting these annoying popups saying I had viruses, trojans, and other nasties. I ran Windows defender both the full scan and offline scan and it found nothing. Same with Malwarebytes, Adwcleaner, and Spyware super cleaner. Interestingly, the popups do not appear when using Edge, only when using Google and Duck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello.

Download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your desktop. --> IMPORTANT

Note: You need to run the version compatible with your system. If you are not sure which version applies to your system download both of them and try to run them. Only one of them will run on your system, that will be the right version.

If your antivirus software detects the tool as malicious, it’s safe to allow FRST to run. It is a false-positive detection.

If English is not your primary language, right click on FRST.exe/FRST64.exe and rename to FRSTEnglish.exe/FRST64English.exe

  • Double-click the FRST icon to run the tool. When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
  • Press Scan button and wait for a while.
  • The scanner will produced two logs on your Desktop: FRST.txt and Addition.txt.
  • Please attach the content of these two logs in your next reply.
