Malware Removal

[jmccleary50]

I just experienced a redirection in clicking on this forum to respond to a post. This happened more than once. Just to check i went to programs on my laptop and saw "malware removal". I don't recall how it got there but uninstalling it seems to have stopped the redirection.
Does anyone else know anything about this?

Nope.... haven't heard of anything like that specifically, but.....
If you want something to do to pass the time.

These are the programs I use to generally delouse a computer with virus and or malware issues.
ADWcleaner from here http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/dl/125/
JRT (Junkware Removal Tool) from here http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/junkware-removal-tool/dl/131/
RogueKiller from here http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/roguekiller/
Norton Power Eraser from here https://security.symantec.com/nbrt/npe.aspx
Malwarebytes from here http://www.malwarebytes.org/mwb-download/confirm/
SuperAntiSpyware from here http://www.superantispyware.com/downloadfile.html?productid=SUPERANTISPYWAREFREE
Ccleaner from here http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download/standard
TFC.exe (Temporary Files Cleaner) from here http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/files/file/187-tfc-temp-file-cleaner-by-oldtimer/
ESET Online Scanner from here http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner/

Eset online scanner is a bit different than the others in that you need to either use
IE or download and run their smart installer if you're using another browser. Then tick
the radio button that says "Enable detection of potentiall unwanted application"
Then click the link that says "Advanced settings", then check all the boxes except the
one that mentions "Use custom proxy settings", unless of course you're using a Proxy
Server. Then just click "Start", it will do a thorough system scan so it takes a long
time.

I don't check the links above everyday, so if you have any problem with any one of them then just Google for the program name but use the site names that I have recommended since I'm relatively certain they are free of extraneous garbage.

I've had several registry cleaners including Malewarebytes which i thought was pretty good. My conclusion is it's sort of a do you like Chevys or Fords? I settled on Spyhunter despite some lousy reviews because it was the only one to remove Conduit which was a real bummer. Since running Spyhunter there was 256 infections of Findwide.com and some other junk so maybe that's what the trouble was.

Thanks for the links: I'll just let them stand for possible future use.

If I may add this one to the mix..it's a great comprehensive on-line scanner that for me has worked very well over the years.

Thanks: I started a folder in email to store all these links. Just added that one.

 

[Trouble]

I believe that was included, as the last one in my list above.
AND
My favorite, for the final scan after I've done everything else.
