    :cry

    I have tried every possible software to remove; have followed all the guidelines. Have removed from Internet Explorer, but with Firefox, to no avail.

    I am totally frustrated and I would truly appreciate any help that you can provide.

    I am totally ticked off with CNET downloads, as this horrible search engine was downloaded without my realization, i.e., did not see the check mark for the download.....

    The least they should do is offer resolution for removing this piece of dirt.

    Please, please help, I am at my wits end....

    http://imageshack.us/a/img841/7292/thisisujrt.gif Please download Junkware Removal Tool to your desktop.
    • Shut down your protection software now to avoid potential conflicts.
    • Run the tool by double-clicking it. If you are using Windows Vista or Seven, right-mouse click it and select Run as Administrator.
    • The tool will open and start scanning your system.
    • Please be patient as this can take a while to complete depending on your system's specifications.
    • On completion, a log (JRT.txt) is saved to your desktop and will automatically open.
    • Attach JRT.txt to your next message.

    Re run Hitman, have it delete what it finds.

    What happened with MGTools.exe? I need the MGlogs.zip.

    Sorry about the MGtools, thought I had done it, but did not. I just ran it and I am attaching the MGlogs.zip. i.e., I have uploaded it.

    Thank you so much!

    You can re run Hitman and have it delete items under the heading: Malware and Potential Unwanted Programs.

    Delete this file: C:\Users\Joyce M\AppData\Local\funmoods-speeddial_sf.crx

    Delete these Folders:

    C:\ProgramData\Babylon
    C:\ProgramData\Browser Manager

    Download OTL to your desktop.

    • Double click on the icon to run it. Make sure all other windows are closed and to let it run uninterrupted.
    • Vista and Windows 7 users Right-click OTL and choose Run as Administrator)
    • When the window appears, underneath Output at the top change it to Minimal Output.
    • Check the boxes beside LOP Check and Purity Check.
    • Click the Run Scan button. Do not change any settings unless otherwise told to do so. The scan wont take long.

    When the scan completes, it will open two notepad windows. OTL.Txt and Extras.Txt. These are saved in the same location as OTL.

    Attach both of these logs into your next reply.

    Could you try running Junk Removal Tool from post #2 again and if it does not run in normal mode, try safe mode.

    Good morning Kestrel13:

    Eureka, it's gone; thank you so very much! You are a wizard, and I would love to donate to your group.

    If you can guide me on how to do so, and if you are too busy, I'll understand, and I will search on your web site.

    I am enclosing the files you requested.

    Wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving!

    Warm regards,

    Cyberjoyce

    You are *most* welcome. :) I'm glad you are all sorted now. We do not take donations. But thankyou SO much for the lovely thought. Simply spread the word about us and refer your friends here!

    If you are not having any other malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:
    1. We recommend you keep SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for scanning/removal of malware. Unless you purchase them, they provide no protection. They do not use any significant amount of resources ( except a little disk space ) until you run a scan.
    2. If we had you use ComboFix, uninstall ComboFix (This uninstall will only work as written if you installed ComboFix on your Desktop like we requested.)
      • Click START then RUN and enter the below into the run box and then click OK. Note the quotes are required
      • "%userprofile%\Desktop\combofix" /uninstall
        • Notes: The space between the combofix" and the /uninstall, it must be there.
        • This will uninstall ComboFix and also reset hidden files and folders settings back to Windows defaults.
    3. Go back to step 4 of the READ ME and renable your Disk Emulation software with Defogger if you had disabled it.
    4. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
    5. If we had you download any registry patches like fixme.reg or fixWLK.reg (or any others), you can delete these files now.
    6. If running Vista, it is time to make sure you have reenabled UAC by double clicking on the C:\MGtools\enableUAC.reg file and allowing it to be added to the registry.
    7. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis.
    8. Goto the C:\MGtools folder and find the MGclean.bat file. Double click on this file to run this cleanup program that will remove files and folders
      related to MGtools and some other items from our cleaning procedures.
    9. If you are running Win 7, Vista, Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:
      • Refer to the cleaning procedures pointed to by step 6 of the READ ME
        for your Window version and see the instructions to Disable System Restore which will flush your Restore Points.
      • Then reboot and Enable System Restore to create a new clean Restore Point.
    10. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
