mrcleanpc.com hijacker?
I searched the forums and cannot find anyone having this specific issue.
I am relatively new to win7 and a novice by all means. I have recently acquired a browser 'hijacker' that tries to send me to[URL="http://www.mrcleanpc.com"]www.mrcleanpc.com[/URL] rather than my intended destination. It never makes it to that site it just keeps shuttering. I can go back a page and try other sites from google and sometimes I go right there sometimes mrcleanpc tries to load.
I have updated and run Spy-Bot S&D, Malwarebytes and AVG. I tried the MS malicious removal tool too. I updated to IE9 and installed Google chrome (to try a different browser). And it is still there. I did a search for mrcleanpc and did not find any files on my laptop with that name.
Can someone please tell me where to look and how to get there and what i should look for?LOL.
I like 7 but it seems more difficult to get in deep to the file structure. I really don't want to mess anything up! I am dangerous that way. I was hoping to be able to get to the temporary internet files folder and see if there was something that i could clean out but I cannot find that either (help here too).
Basically any advice is appreciated. As for system restore????? That will bring me back to a non-issue time but will the hijacker not still be residing somewhere?
Thanks in advance for all your assistance.
