Spyware

Whats the deal these days, what are people using to remove shit this day in age?

I have not had a problem for many years, then today I was browsing gardening websites (yes im not fucking kidding, not porn, gardening sites, in fact I have had no issue with porn sites in many years) in firefox, when BAM it self-downloads and installs fucking "security shield" a fake security program requesting payment to remove false readings.

Now it wont stop fucking popping up, making it real hard to write this. Fuck the cunts who make this stuff. I just wanted to find some modern plant varieties for my front landscaping. Fuck.

TLDR: Spyware removal fools.

Backup -> Format -> Reload Windows.

I was just about to link him to my thread.

Shit is weak.

Well I just booted to the safe mode menu and used windows recovery to restore to an earlier point. So far it appears to be all good again... but im still a bit suss.
I so cannot be bothered with doing a re-load... ughhhhhh

Mail the company a bomb

Why can't you uninstall the plugin from firefox? Firefox does have it's own safe mode as well.

I tried that as well and it came back a couple days later. I hope it works for you though.

I did not know that. I've been using Firefox for a few years and had no idea. Thanks.

at work we run combofix, then malwarebytes, and fix some missing ish with combofix and run ccleaner
sometimes spyware doc, but combofix and malware bytes gets most of it

personally if its for someone i know and make sure its gone, ill run everything i have unless they let me backup and reformat
