After downloading a game to earn some points, my computer has had a program on it called "BrowserPlus" and a few other similar programs that attach itself to my google chrome. I tried to remove the program, but it is hidden, probably under a fake name. Have any of you had this problem? Any suggestions on how I can completely remove these programs from my computer? Any advice would be appreciated!
the best way to do this is reboot your computer to factory date. this will erase everythign.
youtube "how to get rid of babylon" i imagine the thing you're talking about is pretty similar.
Any of those downloads on this site are going to be filled with that "crapware". Download "MalwareBytes Anti-Malware" , it will take care of it.
might leave a rootkit in ur comp and malwarebytes wttont take that off....try tdss rootkit removal tool
if u want to do downloads the u nshould download sandboxie, which puts the downloads in a secure spot on ur pc then it can easily be deleted and not infecting the rest of the computer
True, there is no single removal tool for all virus/malware. Sandboxie is a good choice, forgot about that.
I've been doing system restore, to a few days before you did the download. Has always helped me so far. After hearing what treeman said tho, from now on I will be using sandboxie if I'm going to be doing downloads on here.
Dont download anything from here. Tons of other ways to earn points.
bubble chat me or inbox me ill help you remove it.
"I downloaded XXXX and didn't get my points and/or it gave me a virus!"
You have to allow all that extra bundled software with it.
I recommend using Sandboxie for downloads.
Sandboxie runs your programs in an isolated space which prevents them from making permanent changes to other programs and data in your computer.
That extra software is not a virus.
Although annoying, it is adware. If you want the points for the download, you have to allow it.
For some of these extras, if you didn't use sandboxie, you will have to go to " about:config" in your browser and remove the program. For search engine changes, you will have to remove it from the list of search engines by choosing "Manage Search Engines" from the drop down menu on the mini search box in your browser Navigation bar.

If you have CCleaner (everyone should have this program) Check the list of start up programs.
Is there a known mac alternative?
What is the best way to earn enough points that I can compete daily in a carbon freeroll? I could post on the forum all day long, but the maximum post you earn points on each day is 4 right?Quote:
