Rich Media View removal instructions
The Rich Media View browser extension claims to enhance the Internet browsing experience by displaying website content and advertisements relating to users' interests. While this functionality may seem legitimate, be aware that Rich Media View is categorized as adware or a potentially unwanted application. Many reputable antivirus and anti-malware programs detect Rich Media View as a Trojan or malware. Commonly, users install this browser extension inadvertently without their consent when downloading free software. Developers of this add-on use a deceptive software marketing method called 'bundling'. This marketing method is legal, however, many analyzed free software 'download clients' and 'installers' fail to inform users of additional applications listed for installation together with free programs.
Rich Media View is similar to other potentially unwanted programs, which install on browsers without users' consent. Examples include OkitSpace, BaseFlash, and Atuzi. These plug-ins promise to enhance users' Internet browsing experience by adding various features, however, they only diminish browser performance and generate unwanted ads. To avoid installation of adware such as this, express caution when downloading and installing freeware. When downloading free programs, inspect each download step and opt-out of installation of any advertised browser plug-ins by clicking the 'decline' button. When installing free software, choose the 'Custom' or 'Advanced' installation options, rather than 'Quick' or 'Typical' - this will reveal any bundled adware listed for installation. Users who have already installed Rich Media View and observe various unwanted advertisements when surfing the Internet, should use this removal guide to eliminate Rich Media View adware from their Internet browser/s.

- Показывает MEDIA17.ORG нежелательную всплывающую рекламу.

Как происходит заражение рекламным вирусом MEDIA17.ORG?
Мой братишка — заядлый геймер. Что ни зайду в гости — он постоянно во что-то рубится. Иногда я думаю, что ест, спит и справляет нужду — тоже возле компьютера. Играет просто во все, что движется. Онлайн, оффлайн…
В общем, скачивает он порядочное количество всякого интернет мусора, не обращая внимание на содержимое и безопасность установочного процесса. Все, что он инсталлирует — он инсталлирует по-умолчанию. Так же быстрее! Короче, я не был удивлен, когда вчера он пожаловался мне, что подцепил очередной рекламный вирус — MEDIA17.ORG.
Сейчас очень популярно стало дополнять инсталяционные пакеты всяческим мусорным софтом, которое, вообще говоря, вам вовсе и не нужно. Более того, иногда оно даже потенциально опасно. Одним из примеров такого нежелательного программного обеспечения и служит рекламный вирус MEDIA17.ORG. Звучит просто как имя сайта. Но на самом деле данный зловред начинает заваливать вас назойливой рекламой с момента заражения вашего компьютера.
Как избежать заражения вирусом MEDIA17.ORG или иным зловредом?
Прежде всего никогда не устанавливайте новое программное обеспечение по-умолчанию. Всегда обращайте внимание на опции установки. Внимательно смотрите, не предлагается ли установить дополнительно и ненужное вам программное обеспечение. От его установки лучше отказаться. Помните: потратьте сейчас на минуту больше своего времени, и вы избежите геморроя по расчистке своего компьютера в будущем!
Инструкция по ручному удалению рекламного вируса MEDIA17.ORG
Для того, чтобы самостоятельно избавиться от рекламы MEDIA17.ORG, вам необходимо последовательно выполнить все шаги, которые я привожу ниже:
Запретить вредные службы с помощью консоли services.msc.
Удалить ‘Назначенные задания’, относящиеся к MEDIA17.ORG, с помощью консоли taskschd.msc.
Проверить ярлыки для запуска браузеров на предмет наличия в конце командной строки дополнительных адресов Web сайтов и убедиться, что они указывают на подлинный браузер.
Проверить настройки поиска, домашней страницы. При необходимости сбросить настройки в начальное положение.
И все же автоматика лучше!
Если ручной метод — не для вас, и хочется более легкий путь, существует множество специализированного ПО, которое сделает всю работу за вас. Я рекомендую воспользоваться UnHackMe от Greatis Software, выполнив все по пошаговой инструкции.
Шаг 1. Установите UnHackMe. (1 минута)
Шаг 2. Запустите поиск вредоносных программ в UnHackMe. (1 минута)
Шаг 3. Удалите вредоносные программы. (3 минуты)
UnHackMe выполнит все указанные шаги, проверяя по своей базе, всего за одну минуту.
При этом UnHackMe скорее всего найдет и другие вредоносные программы, а не только редиректор на MEDIA17.ORG.
При ручном удалении могут возникнуть проблемы с удалением открытых файлов. Закрываемые процессы могут немедленно запускаться вновь, либо могут сделать это после перезагрузки. Часто возникают ситуации, когда недостаточно прав для удалении ключа реестра или файла.
UnHackMe легко со всем справится и выполнит всю трудную работу во время перезагрузки.
И это еще не все. Если после удаления редиректа на MEDIA17.ORG какие то проблемы остались, то в UnHackMe есть ручной режим, в котором можно самостоятельно определять вредоносные программы в списке всех программ.
Итак, приступим:
- Скачали софт, желательно последней версии. И не надо искать на всяких развалах, вполне возможно там вы нарветесь на пиратскую версию с вшитым очередным мусором. Оно вам надо? Идите на сайт производителя, тем более там есть бесплатный триал. Запустите установку программы.
Затем следует принять лицензионное соглашение.
И наконец указать папку для установки. На этом процесс инсталляции можно считать завершенным.
- Итак, запускаем UnHackMe, и сразу стартуем тестирование, можно использовать быстрое, за 1 минуту. Но если время есть — рекомендую расширенное онлайн тестирование с использованием VirusTotal — это повысит вероятность обнаружения не только вируса MEDIA17.ORG, но и остальной нечисти.
Мы увидим как начался процесс сканирования.
- Обнаруживаем что-то на очередном этапе. UnHackMe отличается тем, что показывает вообще все, и очень плохое, и подозрительное, и даже хорошее. Не будьте обезьяной с гранатой! Не уверены в объектах из разряда ‘подозрительный’ или ‘нейтральный’ — не трогайте их. А вот в опасное лучше поверить. Итак, нашли опасный элемент, он будет подсвечен красным. Что делаем, как думаете? Правильно — убить! Ну или в английской версии — Remove Checked. В общем, жмем красную кнопку.
Ну и в конце вы увидите результаты сканирования и лечения.
Итак, как вы наверное заметили, автоматизированное лечение значительно быстрее и проще! Лично у меня избавление от вируса MEDIA17.ORG заняло 5 минут! Поэтому я настоятельно рекомендую использовать UnHackMe для лечения вашего компьютера от любых нежелательных программ!
