[Malware] ADBlock is not blocking "Free Cloud Backup"

Post by JanetHudgins »

This is one of those horrible leeches that latches on to your handle and won't get lost. I \'ve searched for an application in my computer somewhere but there is nothing. So if AdBlock isn't stopping this daily interference what I can do to get rid of it?
Appreciate your help

Install, update then fully scan your system with Malwarebytes Antimalware and AdwCleaner.
If the problems persist, see I'm infected - What do I do now? - Malwarebytes Forum.

If you have malware problems you should fix that problem. ABP can't help you.
However, ABP can't block completely a site, but can block all the external content (but can not block inline scripts for example).

If you need to block completely you could use the HOSTS file:

still, you can also use an utility like peerblock: http://forums.peerblock.com/
