My computer was wrecked over the weekend by this virus. I paid someone to fix it
and he got me back on the internet. I then downloaded Superantispyware which I used to have and it found all sorts of crap on there including a Trojan.
But still now when I open a new tab I go to "Mystart by incredibar" and there is a search bar on the page and a moving slot type game on the page. I can't seem to get it out. I have checked with my Add-ons with Fire Fox and it is not listed there. I can't find anything listed in my program files. I just want it to open to a Google page. Anyone know how I can kick them out and get google or nothing in?

1. run malwarebytes
|
and, if necessary, start in safe mode first and delete new files that can rewrite the malware on startup.

8. RU on a PC. If so, just download the malwarebytes app and run it.

Yes, I have used it to clean up intruders on my PC, multiple times, and friends to use it to clean invaders of PCs.
