Muvic Smartbar Engine

Hi all Malwarebytes free edition found a file called "Muvic smartbar engine" not sure what this is ? something like a Cookie? anyway I told malware to quarantine it, which it has, but then I noticed that its also in my program list in control panel / programme features but it wont uninstall, is this because malware has in quarantine ? in the quarantine history bit of malware there about 6 files been held that have smartbar in description, how do I get rid of this program ??? is it a fret even ? thanks for any help

Hello Web.

In the pop menu if you right click it and hit delete it should go away.

Muvic Toolbar is a browser hijacker, which is promoted via other free downloads, and once installed it will add the Muvic Smartbar, change your browser homepage to search.snap.do, and set your default search engine to Snap.do Search.

The Muvic Toolbar it’s technically not a virus, but it does exhibit plenty of malicious traits, such as rootkit capabilities to hook deep into the operating system, browser hijacking, and in general just interfering with the user experience. The industry generally refers to it as a “PUP,” or potentially unwanted program.

Going to control panel/programs & features, if you see it listed, you should select it, r click & the uninstall option should be shown. If it does not uninstall, this wouldn't be a surprise as programs like this tend to be a bit clingy.

Even if you uninstall it through the programs & features, it would be a good idea to d/l & install Malwarebytes. Download the free version, install it & make sure to uncheck the "start free pro trial" box at the end of the installation. Do a full system scan & allow it to quarantine anything it finds.

After running Malwarebytes, d/l & run AdwCleaner. Quarantine anything it finds, you will be asked to reboot your PC in most instances.

Hopefully this should clean your PC. As an added precaution, d/l & run TDSSKiller to rule out the possibility of a rootkit. This is a quick scan.

I done all this but the Muvic smartbar engine is still in control panel/ program features ? ..... do u think im still infected ?
