Shopping sidekick plugin plugin is advertising on my youtube,facebook and 4chan. How can i remove it? - Harry - 04-26-2013 03:47 AM
I think this all started when i installed EZVID or something from that 'Company' of free Downloads and stuff and it forced a homepage onto my Firefox, Google chrome and internet, Although i only use Firefox.it wouldn't delete so i restored my laptop, all the nastiness left except fake Advertisements everywhere like Hot Girls in your area and win an I pad mini and it makes its way to my Facebook homepage,the top of YouTube and also on this website, as I'm typing, i have a fake woman trying to seduce me. i have tried everything from going on a program called autorun http://www.onlinethreatalerts.com/article/2013/1/13/adwcleaner-delete-adware-toolbars-potentially-unwanted-programs-browser-hijackers/ and finally looking at the features and programmes on my laptops control panel and deleting downloadable nastiness. i have asked this before and just may resort to sending my laptop to PC world for a checkup but if i can do anything else just by myself to resolve such a horrible plugin, i would be grateful for your help!

Download the free scanner from http://piriform.com and run the registry cleaner repeatedly until it finds no more errors. Then run another scan with Malwarebytes to be sure.
