Has anyone been affected by this Malware?
It highjacks your browser and it's a sod to remove. If anyone has experience of it please post!
I have managed to sort Firefox out but IE is still messed up. I'm not too worried about IE as I don't use it, but I am concerned about things lurking which could use private information.
Look forward to your comments.

Always good to check with ccleaner and malware bytes.
I cant say I have had experience that bit of malware directly but those two apps have a good treack record..

Thanks for your replies.
'Spybot' sorted one problem, running 'malwarebytes' at the mo- it's slow though! There are some numbers deep in the Registry which I'll have relocate. The malware is American sourced and I'm afraid to say it came on the back of a link.

Got the barstewards!

'malwarebytes' did the business!! IE now working. This is the first time I've suffered from malware, I'm gonna ditch Spybot/AVG(trial)/Avira(when it runs out).
Hope this info. is useful.
Good browsing and thanks again!

OH had a problem after downloading something he possibly should not have and your recommendation of malware bytes saved the day Barriedale Nick.  Thank you
