You'll need to go into the system files and remove them yourself. Antimalware/Antivirus programs will not fully do the job. The only thing that can completely wipe any virus/malware is yourself.

Open Start Menu and search Uninstall a Program.
Anything you see in your Installed Programs and Features list that seems suspicious to you, Double-click the program to uninstall it. After you have done that..

Go to C:\Program Files or C:\Program Files (x86).
Anything (program name, publisher) that seems suspicious to you, delete the file.

If you are having issues, PM me and I'll try to help you to the best of my ability.

Is there something wrong with XP?

Got this before. Remove any strange extensions and programs.

Windows XP is no longer supported and has a lot of vulnerabilities so if you're using it, upgrade or use another operating system.

Rocket Browser is a PUP.
SackThing101 (2014-12-04 20:19:45)
Rocket never gave me problems before.

And, apparently, it's not malware that's that problem. I cleaned everything malware related.

You probably downloaded a dumb extension. Go to your extensions and check.



Paradox wuz here.

I cleared my extensions long ago.

EDIT: I just rescaned with makwarebytes and it didn't delete any malware programs and other things. What button do I have to press?

I thought I told you: Antimalware programs don't do the job like you want them to. You have to remove them yourself.

I had the exact same problem. It's a tricky malware that hides quite well. I forget the name of it, but one of the ads it shows gives you an option to turn it off.

Also, uninstalling any unwanted programs via the Control Panel is always a safe bet.
Death is not the end. It is merely a step towards the unknown.

It's adware a type of malware .

I had this issue (but trust me, much worse), but then I took a malwarebytes to the knee. Turns out I had a browser hijacker on my PC.


Like dylan said, it could be adware.
