Strange Javascript/? Malware Problem
Posted: Wed Dec 10, 2014 1:46 pm
I started having problems on my desktop machine last night when ebay filters would not work as well as links on pages that used javascript, probably both locally and for javascript ajax calls.
Today I discovered that all javascript functionality in all browsers (chrome, IE, opera, firefox) was not working.
On this machine I am running Win 7 Ultimate, MalwareBytes premium and Kaspersky antivirus, plus EMET and something called hitmanpro.alert and cryptoprevent.
I then booted my laptop which was last used weeks ago, and found to my surprise that I have the same symptoms on the laptop which is running Win8.1 Pro
The laptop has Webroot SecureAnywhere, MBAM and crytoprevent, emet and hitmanpro.alert.
I just uninstalled MBAM on the desktop which did not help. Tried disabling Kaspersky, no luck. Tried uninstalling EMET, no effect
I did find that if I run say firefox in Sandboxie, javascript does work. Can anyone tell me what is unique to Sandboxie that might help me identify what is disabling javascript in both machines.
I can only guess that this may be malware, but neither AV which are different in both machines plus MalwareBytes has detected anything.
