To send a message, msb-alumni@xxxxxxxxxxxxxBlankHi, I thought I'd submit a post about an outstanding malware removal program that is extremely accessible. It is called Adwcleaner. I used version 4.106.I tried it about ten days ago on my computer and found a couple things. Mywife had an issue with her computer freezing when doing downloads, and she used this program this morning and it corrected the issue. But, I have a client who had issues with several pieces of spyware such as global updater, groovorio, roboot, and many more that could not be nuked with MalwareBytes or a couple different anti-virus programs. This person had over sixty browser helper objects in Firefox, and these same programsthat ran in Internet Explorer were listed in various places in the registry, under program foldrs and scheduled tasks. It identified over 155 differentregistry keys, and over thirty folders with malware. Adwcleaner opens with a simple screen layout. Under the actions menu, you first hit the Scan button. It will take a few minutes to scan. On the results screen, there are several tabs. These are tabs for each browser (firefox, Internet explorer, google chrome if you have it), plustabs for files, folders, registry, scheduled tasks etc. Under each tab, youcan tab into the list of items it has identified. If you don't want to clean an item, just uncheck it as you arrow down through the culprits. Once you've reviewed everything, go back to the actions area and hit the Clean button. It will warn you to make sure you've saved data from your other applications as it will close all programs. When it says it will close all programs--believe it! It means it! It closes everything, including your screen-reader. Suggestion: Make sure you have a shortcut installed so you can bring your screen reader back up about ten seconds after it closes. When you bring your screen reader up again, it will tell you it needs to reboot to finish the process.When it reboots, you will be in a notepad log file showing what it wwas ableto remove. The log file will also be saved, along with the quarantine folder, under your root directory. You can download it at https://toolslib.net/downloads/finish/1/ Steve Lansing, MI
