Adblock360Updater Batch File Keeps Appearing

Linen Gray

I recently updated Notepad ++ and now, just about every day a .bat file for Adblock360Updater keeps popping up. I checked my Chrome extensions and do not have this app installed. Below are the contents of the file. How do I get rid of this?
@echo off
del “C:\Users\ACIDBU~1\AppData\Local\Temp\8b88a5f31ca417f302ba5d72533d19dc\Adblock360Updater.ini”
del “C:\Users\ACIDBU~1\AppData\Local\Temp\8b88a5f31ca417f302ba5d72533d19dc\Adblock360Updater.dat”
:again
if not exist “C:\Users\ACIDBU~1\AppData\Local\Temp\8b88a5f31ca417f302ba5d72533d19dc\Adblock360Updater.exe” goto end
if exist “C:\Users\ACIDBU~1\AppData\Local\Temp\8b88a5f31ca417f302ba5d72533d19dc\Adblock360Updater.exe” del “C:\Users\ACIDBU~1\AppData\Local\Temp\8b88a5f31ca417f302ba5d72533d19dc\Adblock360Updater.exe”
goto again
:end
rmDir “C:\Users\ACIDBU~1\AppData\Local\Temp\8b88a5f31ca417f302ba5d72533d19dc”
del “C:\Users\ACIDBU~1\AppData\Local\Temp{D69BB574-E533-4232-990B-A7FABF9452E4}…bat” | cls

Nothing in that batch file refers to Notepad++. I think you have associated the update of Notepad++ with the appearance of the message, however you do not show anything to suggest Notepad++ is the cause of this message.

A quick Google search even suggests that Adblock360 might be malware. Use a good A/V system to thoroughly inspect your computer. I could even suggest Malwarebytes as it has a very good reputation in this area.
