Maxthon Browser

GarIT · 2014-08-22 13:43:33

I installed Maxthon browser because I had hear of it before and I didn't realise it was malware. I have managed to get rid of the browser but everytime I restart my computer the sidebar comes back, does anyone had any ideas on how to remove it?

I managed to get rid of it by searching the whole drive for maxthon and then deleted everything that showed up.
