    Has anyone been hit with this swine yet and successfully removeded it?.

    Its taken over just about everything, I can't access any of the usual tools to remove these things - it blocks any attempt to open up new windows although I can still browse the 'net.

    Its also stopping me starting the computer in safe mode.

    Its been a total bitch so far.

    Havent heard of it meself but from some posts on others sites it seems Malware Bytes will get rid of it.
    Give that a try.

    Hi Mairt,

    You'd be wise to head over to the Virus and Malware Removal forum.

    First follow as many of the instructions in this sticky as you can.

    ActorSeeksJob will sort this out for you.

    Thanks, I got the problem sorted lads.

    I couldn't get into safe mode until the computer crashed and I had to unplug it from the mains, when I pluged it in again 'hey presto' I'd access to safe mode and have the problem solved.

    Cheers.
