    My wife's laptop has been infected with this nasty virus, she blamed me for her getting it, but I run Malwarebytes occasionally and has never detected the PUP on my machine. I have used Malwarebytes several times on her machine only to have the machine re-infected. So I've been to several sites they confirmed that removal very difficult. They list some very convoluted solution. One even warned that a miss-stroke could cause serious damage to your machine. I have a tremor so I do not want to attempt one of those and that fact they only list windows 7 and 8.

    I hoping that there is someone out there that can point me to trusted software to remove this or recommend or a reputable site that can do the removal. I'm not looking for a freebee but permeant solution to this virus.

    I'm sure she has a lot of unwanted junk on her relatively new machine. Every time I ran MB it took longer than the previous time, I just ran MB, it took 21min. My machine has a larger capacity and only takes about 5min.

    :)

    Also, try the above. And may want to consider a System Restore to a point prior to the virus (If possible).

    If I read your post correctly, your wife's laptop has a virus with PUPs ? Any other issues ?
