"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?
