    How to disable or remove Ad Choices


    Yeah, no sorry - all of them, and in that order. Here's why: RKILL stops malicious processes from running on the system so they can be removed/killed. Everything that RKILL does is "undone" by a reboot. That's why it's first. JRT will get stuff out of the browsers that the other two might miss, and vice-versa.

    You still having problems? Even if not, I would run them just the same.

    O.K. I have ADWCleaner
    Malewarebytes
    I just now downloaded RKill and JRT. Instead of a program and page bloading like seen on the download pageI get a black page and it runs tests. For both programs.

    Rkill.txt

    is this what it is supposed to look like ?

    I still need to know how to do this....

    (Please enable ROOTKIT scanning in the setting before running the scan.)

    Then I will be able to run all 4 in the order you have given me....

    If you mean it's a black Command Prompt box, then yes, that is correct.
    Yes.
    Windows Defender is disabled. I assume you are running a 3rd-party AV?
    That's good - it got rid of some "junk".

    Here are some screenshots for you:

  10. Simrick,
    Where is the rest of my post???
    So I click on scan in malwarebytes and do not get the same screen you have. No option to Custom(ize) it.
    This should not be so hard!!!!!

    No, it shouldn't be difficult. *Smile
    Open MBAM, and select SCAN at the very top.
    Then select Custom Scan and Configure Scan.

    If you don't have these screens, something is wrong.
