Browser Hijacker/Adware/PUP Removal
One Step that should be done before using ANY malware/adware removal tool

No.1 Create a New Restore point
Can be deleted after removal is complete

Removal:
No.1
Run a scan with Junkware Removal Tool
NOTE:This tool does a Back-up of the Registry, so doing it manually is no longer needed

Please download Junkware Removal Tool to your desktop from the following link:
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download...oval-tool/

Double-click to run the tool. For Windows Vista or 7 users, right-click the file and select Run as Administrator
The tool will open and start scanning your system
Please be patient as this can take a while to complete depending on your system's specifications
On completion, a log (JRT.txt) will be saved to your desktop and will automatically open
