malware
I recently downloaded ‘Spybot’ to my laptop to safeguard from malware and realised that something other than Spybot was being installed. I quickly stopped the process by using the cancel button. However, when I now open any browser I have Popups and new ad pages opening automatically!
I have done all I can to rid my laptop of this but nothing seems to work, this includes the browser popup settings, and running Malwarebytes. I’ve also tried ‘Add Remove’ programs, but nothing is listed there other than my trusted installations.
I then went to System restore only to find that all the restore points have also vanished. Can anyone suggest any other options than I can try; I don’t really want to reinstall the system if I can help it.
I’m using Windows 7.
