If the AdAntiHS.exe file is removed from %systemdrive%\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup, I noticed a commonstartup file is created at %systemdrive%\Windows\pss. I've deleted that too. Cleaned the registry of mentions of AdAntiHS but upon restarting, it all comes back. The only registries I have not erased that still mention AdAntiHS.exe are some appCompatCache keys, which as far as I understand are more a history of programs that have executed on the computer. FreeFixer detects and remove the executable well enough, but upon restart it comes back. Any other ideas on how to proceed?
