Binary Boom Scam Browser Hijack

Offending file: adsentinel.exe

Uninstall [ Binary Boom ] from the WINDOWS Control Panel

I discovered that the file is located in
C:\Program Files\Network Virtual Bridge\Proxy

On further inspection, there is also another folder in C:\Program Files called:

Network Virtual Bridge Update Protocol

Both of these folders have the modified date as of the time I installed the Binary Boom (malware)

So I am 100% confident this is where the problem is coming from. Inside these folders are uninstall.exe icons.

** DO NOT USE THESE TO UNINSTALL !!!

It is possible there may very well be other viruses or malware impersonating an uninstall executable.

GOTO <Programs> in the control panel and uninstall
[ Network Virtual Bridge ] and
[ Network Virtual Bridge Update Protocol ]

After this is done, your internet connection will most likely not work, so be careful to have this all written down or saved.

The malware has been routing your internet traffic through a proxy. Disabling this proxy will disable your internet connection, so one needs to reset the TCP stack.

Here’s how to do that:

1. Click <Start> <All Programs> <Accessories>
right-click on [ Command Prompt ] and choose
[ Run as administrator ]

2. At the command prompt type:
[ netsh winsock reset catalog ] and press <Enter>

3. Next type:
[ netsh int ip reset reset.log ] and press <Enter>

You will need to restart the PC computer at this point, after this, the computer will be working as normal

Hi Aydin,
ty so much, it work,
but mine is abit different, after I delete both virtual bridge and virtual bridge update protocol from control panel, the program is still there running in the background but in tshe list of program inside control panel showing nothing
so, just in case this is happened to anyone, I opened task manager and under service tab both program should appear, so what I did was I changed both "virtual bridge" and "virtual bridge updater" setting to disabled and then reset TCP stack using command prompt then I can delete the files manually.
Again, thx, I didnt know how to reset TCP stack. like you said, when I just disable the service, my Internet stopped working. It starts working again after I reset my TCP stack and restart my PC.
