Adware Removal
Was being a dickhead and downloading something I should not have even considered and now my PC is infected with Adware - DNS-Keeper specifically.
Have followed all the guides I can find but can not fully destroy it so does anyone here have a suggestion for a safe and reliable Adware removal tool?
Have done everything like removing programs, deleted Firefox, set everything in Internet Explorer back to default, searched the computer, run a full scan with Microsoft Security Essentials but it still persists.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated boys.

Re: Adware Removal
Yep Malwarebytes FTW.
If it doesn't get rid of it nothing will except an OS rebuild.

Re: Adware Removal
It found some stuff but not all of it.
tried another one called SpyHunter which found a bunch more threats but apparently will not remove them without the full version.
Suggestions?

System restore point before the installation of said application?

Re: Adware Removal
Nope - dont have one set back far enough. I feel like such a total dumb ass right now.
20 years of doing this and I have never been so careless.

Re: Adware Removal
Yep seems like it. Might throw a new video card in there and do a proper job of it. I have contacted my computer builder and will hand it over to him to fix. Its well beyond my limited skills now.
