Took me hours to find a solution and finally came across your forum, other sites asked me to download software which I have to pay to remove it. This one removed it in under 5 minutes. Thank you so much!

Thank you so much writing for this article. Your website is one of the many I come across while finding a way to remove this bugger of my computer, also the only one which I trusted and worked perfectly. Thanks again.

this alone does not remove the thread. well I applied this, and then smitfraud and vundofix, and it was gone. but a week later it appeared again. any suggestions, how I can remove it completely and for ever?

My laptop has Malware Doctor on it. I also have Malware bites. however it may not be up to date. Along with Regedit, Task manager and system restore not working I can not assess the Internet. I am sure that MD did not restrict IE as it needs it to get you to register and PAY. What can I do to to, first get access to the Internet and then remove MD? Thank you.
