Man This Virus Was So Annoying! Took Me About 3-5 Months To Get It Off! First, I Had To Run Spyhunter's Scan And Remove The Threats. Then, I Had To Initally Remove It. If You See Any Free Downloads. Chances Are, They Could Include Conduit Search/Toolbar. I Highly Recommend That You Buy Spyhunter, Then Turn System Guard On So It Cant Get Onto Your Computer!
Como faco para deletar este search Protect criminoso que entro no meu PC e nada mais e que um vírus dominante, que aparentemente está oculto em alguma pasta de meu PC e dominou a internet, abre sozinho sites de publicidade, e vive tentando fazer eu instalar novos programas. Como faço para denunciar? Entrou no meu PC quando fui baixar o CCLEANER no Baixaki.
