  1. Malware hiding in my system, need help getting it removed


    So I already got help because of the same problem here before, but I didn't know what caused it that time. Now I know - it was some torrent I've downloaded. Now my system probably has crypto mining malware, but this time even my computer files were modified, I couldn't install Net Limiter to try and track the program causing my high CPU usage, I get warnings in games that my files are modified which alerts the anti-cheats. I'd like to get help with Farber Recovery Scan Tool fixlist, which has helped last time.

  2. Best way to remove problem Malware

    Hi There,

    I am trying to remove a bundle of Malware without success.

    There is a bundle of listed programs which I try to uninstall through the typical Control Panel effort, but they remain listed there:

    Buenosearch Toolbar
    MyPC Backup
    PC Performer
    Speed Test 127
    UnknownFile

    I was looking at this weblink which provides a 5 step process for Buenosearch alone:
    http://malwaretips.com/blogs/remove-bueno-search/

    Not sure how much certain guides can be trusted. One of the first things I read was to download Revo Uninstaller, and I've not heard of it so I'm not sure if it's trustworthy..........
     
  3. removal of sidecubes malware

    Do not get SpyHunter. It's just as bad as the malware you have,

    Follow the steps here.

    If it is not listed in the Control Panel, or it can't be removed there, move on to step 2. HitmanPro might not be needed.

    Get message Defender is removing Malware.

    Sounds like the malware detections may be in a browser.

    Can you give us the complete name/file path of the malware (as it appears under quarantine or on the list of detected items)?

    Have you emptied temporary internet files and rebooted the computer? Then do a manual update of WD followed by a Quick Scan.

    Any new browser extensions that need to be disabled?

    Try this free scanner:

    If the detections continue see the following free removal guide from Malwaretips.com:
