1bcde.com browser hijacker removal

Asked by Trevor Fernandes

Hi,

My Ubuntu 14.04 LTS system has 2 browsers namely Firefox and Chrome.

Whenever I open an 'http' page & click on links, buttons in the webpage a pop up will open showing either 'newsprofin.com' or '1bcde.com'. There is no problem with 'https' sites. It happens on both browsers. The problem persists even if I login using a different Ubuntu user.

I had installed ClamAV (& ClamTK graphical interface), but it is unable to detect the malware/hijacker. Comodo antivirus too is unable to detect it. I ran both the antiviruses with latest updates.

(I've just uninstalled both these antiviruses since they can't get the job done)

What do I do?

Many thanks.
