Baidu on Vista Im trying to remove the baidu virus/malware/thing from my dads computer, but ive hit a slight problem: i cant find the baidu files. ive looked online, where people said to delete specific registry entries, dlls, etc. i have deleted a few folders, but there are no registry entries or dlls or anything else that i can find that is related to baidu at all, and yet it is still here. i have checked for hidden folders and files, but i havent seen anything. i have disabled baidu in the addons manager, but its useless
my dad's using ie9, despite me telling him that he should use anything but ie.
does anyone have some tricks to removing baidu? | My System Specs |

What malware or anti-virus applications have you run?? The normal suggestion here is to use Malwarebytes. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Ignatz Special; 4 speed manual gearbox; factory air conditioning; one of one OS Windows 7 SP1, Home Premium, 64-bit CPU Intel Sandy Bridge i5-2500, not overclocked Motherboard Gigabyte H67A-UD3H-B3, full ATX Memory 4 GB Crucial DDR3-1333 Graphics Card none; graphics are integrated on CPU Sound Card onboard: Realtek ALC892; external: USB Behringer UF0-202 Monitor(s) Displays NEC 90GX2-BK 19" LCD Screen Resolution 800 x 640 Keyboard Leopold Tenkeyless with Cherry Blue switches, USB Mouse Logitech or Microsoft optical wired; either USB or PS 2 PSU Seasonic SS-560KM, modular Case Antec Solo II Cooling CPU: Scythe Big Shuriken; Case: Scythe Slipstream 800 & 500 Hard Drives System: Intel 320 Series SSD, 80 GB;

You should NOT be running both AVG and MSE in the same computer. You run the risk of the 2 interfering each other in stead of catching viruses, not to mention they will use up a lot of resources.
Unless you are using one as `Real Time Protection `and the other one as `On-demand Protection `
`On-demand Protection `means it does not run until you manually turn it on, and it will stop when scanning is done. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Acer Aspire 7741Z OS Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, SP1 CPU Intel Pentium P6200, Cores 2, 2.13 GHz Memory 4 GB Graphics Card Intel HD Sound Card unknown Monitor(s) Displays 17.3 inches Screen Resolution 1600 x 900 Hard Drives 640 GB, 5400 PRM |

Why does everyone assume that there are multiple virus scanners just because multiple names are mentioned? Avg was installed a while ago, before I convinced my dad to use mse, after uninstalling avg. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Self Built, Lenovo T410 OS 7 Ultimate x64, Windows 7 Enterprise x64 CPU Intel Q6600 @ 3.33 GHz, Intel i5 @ 2.53 GHz Motherboard ASUS P5Q Pro, Lenovo 2522DY1 Memory OCZ Gold 800 4GB, Some sort of RAM 4GB Graphics Card GeForce GT240, NVIDA NVS 3100M Monitor(s) Displays H213H Screen Resolution 1900 x 1080, 1440 x 900 Mouse Logitec G9x, Ultranav PSU ISO-450 Case Sunbeam ACIII-T Transparent Clear Acrylic ATX Mid Tower Cooling Spin Q Hard Drives Seagate 2 Tb
