Hello,

Over the past few weeks, intrusive advertising pop-ups have been piling up on my home screen from startup on my Windows 10 laptop.

These windows are labeled "Blogline." I can close them, but they reappear several times throughout the day.

Thank you for any information.

    Hi,

    It might be notifications you allowed in your Internet browser

    Look in the Browser Plugins section, Delete all notifications, without regrets.

    But you can inspect the rest...

    You can analyze and remove malware and viruses with RegRun Reanimator

    https://greatis.com/security/reanimator.html

    > Fix Problems
    > Fix Malware Issues

    You have to look in the tabs at the top for the types of items seen.

    Note, it is important to sort well, by searches and deductions and/or analyses, and/or VirusTotal* to only delete viruses or useless items, because it detects anything and everything, good or bad, important or not; it is not an "antivirus", but rather an analysis tool that lets you see technical details on elements that may be active, sometimes good, sometimes bad.

    It shows details like the names and location of files, which often provide concrete clues.

    Whether marked in red, yellow, blue, or green, it is the user who must judge the relevance of what it detects.

    Check the items to delete and not the others and click the red button, in all sections where there is something to delete, then go to Finish! and click the button to restart Windows.

    If it doesn’t detect enough you can use the Filter Set button or Inspection Mode to see everything.

    Or On-Line Multi-Antivirus Scan

    Or by closing the first Reanimator window with the X at the top right, and the Reanimator tab > Anti Spyware Full Check...

    -----------------------------------------------------­------------------------­-----------------------------------------------

    The VirusTotal Uploader program *Download the App here*

    https://support.virustotal.com/hc/en-us/articles/115002179065-Desktop-Apps

    For (a file) > Right-click > Send to > VirusTotal

    (Show hidden files if needed in View > Options > View)

    To get the analysis results of the file by about sixty antivirus engines, in addition to the Details tab to see if the file is signed and verified or not, etc.

    We can use the Reupload option to obtain a new analysis of the file in case of recently analyzed file.

    -----------------------------------------------------­------------------------­-----------------------------------------------

    You can clean up invalid and unnecessary startup items with Autoruns

    You can download Autoruns here, extract everything into a new folder, and run it as administrator.

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/autoruns

    Take your time, look at all the details, do research.

    In the "Logon" and "Scheduled Tasks" tabs, you can disable or delete startup of unnecessary third-party items that are not Microsoft or Windows essential, either by unchecking them, or by right-click > Delete.

    With Autoruns you have the list of Non-Windows services, which helps.

    Changes will take effect after restarting Windows.

    Hello.

    These are nuisance notifications that are in your web browser; to remove them see this https://www.malekal.com/supprimer-publicites-en-bas-droite-notifications-chrome-firefox-opera-smartphone/

    If you can’t manage it, do the following:

    Download FRST once downloaded save it to the desktop then right-click FRST and choose Run as administrator you will get this:

    Click on Analyze


    Warning, wait for the messages saying the analysis is finished to appear.

    At the end of the analysis you will have two text files on the desktop named FRST and Addition.

    Then send the FRST and ADDITION reports to PJJOINT and then provide the two links generated by PJJOINT in your reply.
