"Elevationmap.net" - This looks like Malware and I do not know an easy way to get rid of it
Is it, and how do I get rid of it?
Screenshots - see end.
How I found it
I bing'ed "elevation map london" and got
"London, City of London, ... - Elevation Map"
at <possibly dangerous>
I went to that url.
What I found
I did not get a useful elevation map.
Instead, I got messages in my Notification Area.
For screenshots, see below.
Like them? I did not.
And would downloading the "virus updates" have helped?
I do not even want to try it.
How to get rid of it?
Eventually, I restored a system backup.
Is there an easier way?
I would like to know.
I tried...
Rang Microsoft Support.
They suggested...
- install AdBlock
- scan with MSERT (Microsoft Safety Scanner)
I did both. Malware still there.
I also scanned the System partition with a more thorough Microsoft Malware Scanner.
No Joy.
Is this known Malware, and how do I get rid of it?
Any Ideas?
