I have been the unfortunate victim of a clipboard virus. Thankfully I found out before anything nasty happened. Can anybody help me remove it? Malwarebytes and AVG are not detecting any viruses.

P.S. There might be a gift to the person who helps me.

Malwarebytes can detect it. Let it run for a full scan of the computer. You can also use a free version of SpyBot. Backup your data and install the OS again. This will keep you safe.
Cheers!
Note: Do not download unwanted content and do not click on popup/ads. Always recheck your address before any transaction.

I let Malwarebytes scan my whole computer but nothing popped up (other than some useless junk that I quarantined). The installing OS again takes too much time. Does the clipboard virus copy sensitive stuff and send them to another person?

 

[Mashfiqun]

No. It just replaces your crypto addresses with hackers addresses. I know it takes a lot of time. But you have to do that to be safe. I was into faucets a lot and it was common for me to be attacked by the virus. Then one day I installed a clean OS and it worked. You can also try Linux. That would be much safer than windows as hackers primarily target windows for its massive userbase.

Can anybody help me remove it?

Perhaps the best thing you can do, reinstall windows. You never know when you send a payment and send it to the wrong user, which could be the actual scammer.

What applications have you recently installed? Perhaps try uninstalling them? You can always re-install them later.
Keep scanning with Malwarebytes. It'll pick it up eventually if you don't remove it yourself. Make sure you do the deepest scan possible. Also try uploading some of your latest downloads to VirusTotal - that scans multiple antivirus engines to see if a particular file is bad. You can't use it to scan your entire system, but it may help identify the issue.

I'll try that and see if anything comes up.

Why not using avira with Real Time Protection, so everytime you enter a website with malware, avira will detected or maybe you can use Full Scan to find a hidden object [the most lethal virus can affecting window]

I use AVG which blocks every website I visit that contains malware.

 

[white73]

AVG is not bad, but for the best, just like me, every 2 days i made full scan

 

[Mashfiqun]

Whatever you do mate, I would still recommend a clean installation. Consider that when you have some time to do it. A full scan takes like a few hours. But takes minutes to install an OS. I recommend you to reinstall windows. Keep your pc and antivirus updated. Stay safe on the web from ads/popups/trackers. That's it.

I have donated 100 BMF to @ICTman1076 for giving me the best suggestion. I will post more of these when I need help and hopefully more can earn BMF. @Mr. B please close this.

Hi, Iam not using some like avg, or avast... avg was good few years ago, avast is little same as anti-antivirus I called it that

So If I can tell and try help, at first download comodo antivirus, only antivirus... and than download Mwav... than uninstall avg, restart, then install comodo, update database scan and then run mwav as admin rights, check window scan only and check at first and scan, than you see if found anything, than uncheck scan only and repeat... it will remove it
If no, let me know, ...save BMF

Few months ago I had same problem, everytime that I need fill copied btc adress, it get me diferent, this was help to me

 

[magicpotato]

Like riccck said, I'd also recommend using Comodo.

 

[riccck]

Like riccck said, I'd also recommend using Comodo.

Yes, but comodo have little some quiet places too, but its 50% better than avg and 80% better than avast... and for quiet places its good use it together with mwav (mwav is not active antivirus and malware, so you need check scan manualy, but I have with Mwav very good and year opinion)

YEAR-S opinion... sorry for mistake, around 7-8 years

So download Comodo then restart or first run it then restart? @Mr. B don't close this thread, it is getting interesting.

 

[riccck]

Its better after uninstal avg, do restart and install comodo, than restart if needed and check with comodo, if comodo not find anything and problem will still there, than use mwav
