Url Tiny Ru Virus

• Once you open Chrome, click on the three-dots icon to open the browser’s menu, go to More Tools/ More Options, and then to Extensions.
• Again, find the items on that page that could be linked to Url Tiny Ru and/or that might be causing problems in the browser and delete them.
• Afterwards, go to this folder: Computer > C: > Users > *Your User Account* > App Data > Local > Google > Chrome > User Data. In there, you will find a folder named Default – you should change its name to Backup Default and restart the PC.
• Note that the App Data folder is normally hidden so you’d have to first make the hidden files and folders on your PC visible before you can access it.

If using Firefox:

• Start Edge
• Select the browser menu and go to Extensions.
• Find and uninstall any Edge extensions that look undesirable and unwanted.
• Select Settings from the browser menu and click on Appearance.
• Check the new-tab page address of the browser and if it has been modified by “Url Tiny Ru” or another unwanted app, change it to an address that you’d want to be the browser’s new-tab page.

• Access the Task Manager by pressing together the Ctrl + Alt + Del keys and then selecting Task Manager.
• Open Processes and there try to find a process with the name of the unwanted software. If you find it, select it with the right button of the mouse and click on the Open File Location option.
• If you don’t see a “Url Tiny Ru” process in the Task Manager, look for another suspicious process with an unusual name. It is likely that the unwanted process would be using lots of RAM and CPU so pay attention to the number of resources each process is using.
• Tip: If you think you have singled out the unwanted process but are not sure, it’s always a good idea to search for information about it on the Internet – this should give you a general idea if the process is a legitimate one from a regular program or from your OS or if it is indeed likely linked to the adware.
• If you find another suspicious process, open its File Location too.
• Once in the File Location folder for the suspicious process, start testing all of the files that are stored there by dragging them to our free online scanner available below.

  This scanner is based on VirusTotal's API. By submitting data to it, you agree to their Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, and to the sharing of your sample submission with the security community. Please do not submit files with personal information if you do not want them to be shared.
• If the scanner finds malware in any of the files, return to the Processes tab in the Task Manager, select the suspected process, and then select the End Process option to quit it.
• Go back to the folder where the files of that process are located and delete all of the files that you are allowed to delete. If all files get deleted normally, exit the folder and delete that folder too. If one or more of the files showed an error message when you tried to delete them, leave them for now and return to try to delete them again once you’ve completed the rest of the guide.

• Now you need to carefully search for and uninstall any Url Tiny Ru-related entries from the Registry. The easiest way to do this is to open the Registry Editor app (type Regedit in the windows search field and press Enter) and then open a Find dialog (CTRL+F key combination) where you have to type the name of the threat.
