Have you tried something like Spybot Search and destroy?

Posted

I can not for the life of me get this superfish adware off of my computer. I work with computers for a living and can not figure it out. I have scanned with malwarebytes, superantispyware, and adwcleaner. I have looked up how to remove it and it is not working. I do not have it in my extensions on any of my browsers or in my installed programs in the control panel, but yet it still shows up. Anyone have any experience with this?

I'm using Google Chrome. The thing is called superfish. It brings up a screen with the "best price" for a particular item when you hover over the item. 

 

Have you tried something like Spybot Search and destroy?

Haven't tried that one yet.

All I have is adblock+

Have you looked through your background processes, removed it in search engines, extensions (already said this I think) and start up pages?

I used that and Malwarebytes on my sister's laptop when she got some adwear on it and it was able to fix her issue.

Yeah i think that just did the trick. Thanks.

I find Spybot excellent for cleaning up infected PCs and if it fails then it has that shredder program that doesn't seem to care what it's destroying (really, that thing is kind of scary).
