Hi all,
Today i got infected by an adware and this app could spam ads on my desktop without a browser and even change and always overwrite chrome and firefox settings. I later found that the app installed multiple services and other apps, xml files etc, but i still don't get it how can it send ads in so many ways. I don't kbow how to reeverse engineer software so i can't help my self. Google too doesn't show much related info or details. Any ideas?
