bloody malware strike

Post by TOONGA » Tue Jul 27, 2010 3:44 pm

well for the last couple of weeks Ive been fighting a rather annoying bit of malware / adware in Firefox none of the programs that are supposed to fix this problem did (spybot malwarebytes AVG etc)

it was redirecting my searches to anything but what I needed and when ever I was getting close to a fix money was involved (which just makes me more determined to fix it myself) today on the verge of having a firesale (smash hard drives with hammer and start again expensive but most gratifying) I had one last search and just before I got redirected from the page I was viewing I, so I switched to Opera to get to the page and found the fix

so if anyone else is having this problem here is the easiest solution and while you are doing this search your registry for mywebsearch I was rather unimpressed with the result as Ive never installed this toolbar yet there it was in the registry

a little calmer now
