Yesterday my computer was attacked by TrojanDropper:Win32/Hesperbot.B. My antivirus software can detect it but cannot delete it. I tried using other tools to remove it, but they were also unable to solve the problem. I am still finding a good way to completely remove it. No matter what I do, it still exists. This virus is so stubborn. Can anyone tell me how to get rid of it?
TrojanDropper:Win32/Hesperbot.B is a high risky Trojan infection that is able to perform unnecessary operations on the target computer. Trojans usually enter the computer system via pretending to be something else. For example, this one can hide in a free program which provides attractive functions to lure as many computer users as possible. Unlike other kinds of viruses, Trojans rarely announce their presence in the system blatantly. They like to work in a quiet environment, so you hardly notice the infection. If you suspect that your computer may have been infected, you should look for strange process in the Processes tab in Task Manager, which is a direct evidence of the infection in your system. But the diagnosis of the infection is difficult for unexperienced computer users.

Recently I found my browser kept redirecting me to websites I don’t want. So I ran Malwarebytes in full scan, and it found PUP.Optional.GreatArcadeHits.A virus in my computer. I tried to remove it immediately, but when I restarted the computer, this PUP came back again. How do I get rid of it completely? Any help will be appreciated.
PUP.Optional.GreatArcadeHits.A is categorized as a PUP (potentially unwanted program) which can be found by MalwareBytes Anti-malware. Usually it sneaks into your operating system without your consent. Once found, it is hard to remove because most antivirus or anti-malware program do not have the ability to detect a PUP as a threat since it doesn’t belong to a virus, but it acts as similar as a virus. This unwanted program always gets installed when a user downloads a specific program or application. While downloading, the user neglects to read the download agreement, so he or she doesn’t notice that other unwanted programs are being downloaded at the same time.

Whenever I go online, a bunch of weird pop-ups will be shown on my browser and interrupt my browsing activities, especially for this AdvanceMark ads. I have the pop up blockers in the web browser set to high to try stop the majority of them but it hasn’t done any difference. Also I have tried to reinstall the browser, but it still did the same thing. I am annoyed by this unwelcome pop-up ads. Is there any way I can disable them and get rid of them completely?
AdvanceMark is categorized as adware or a PUP (potentially unwanted program) designed to make a profit from ad clicks. It generates various ads, hoping computer users can click on those ads so that they can earn money from the artificial traffic. This adware can do nothing helpful on a computer but just keep displaying random pop-up ads to disturb your working. Those displayed ads could be some information about discount coupons or fake alerts saying your computer has been infected and a program is needed to clean it up. No matter what information it shows, you will understand that clicking on the ads is dangerous because it can bring unwanted programs to your computer. The small advertising box with AdvanceMark ads may also display many sponsored links below. If a user clicks on the pop-up window, he will be redirected to other websites he doesn’t want at all. All in all, the point of AdvanceMark is to deliver advertisements to your browser and it does no beneficial to you.
