Brigzy 1,298 Posted May 17, 2014 Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 My laptop was being swamped by malware and pop ups. I tried all the free anti malware but it made no difference, so I downloaded RegHunter and SpyHunter. It cost about fifty quid, but did the job, comp has never run so fast and no pop ups. I also renewed my Norton, but it doesn't seem to block malware. I just run reg and spy every couple of days in the background and everything is fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
beast 1,884 Posted May 17, 2014 Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 Simple enough Instructions here http://malwaretips.com/blogs/remove-sweetim-search/ thanks for that. wasnt quite as simple as the instructions on that link, i had already tried most of that stuff and i simply wasnt allowed to perform some of those instructions, but i worked round it and am finally free!!! cheers Al Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flipper_Al 1,012 Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 The key to removing infections from computers, is understanding and identify, what has infected your machine, this will allow you to use the correct tool for the job. I must have done over 500 machines now, of those about 5 had to rebuilt due to being infected by ramnit.a which infects all the .dll and .exe files, all the rest were fixed with free tools. Booting into safe mode, gives you a huge advantage, as does removing the hard drive an scanning on another machine, as some infections will stop the most common tools from working 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
