ADWCleaner

I recommend that you use a different computer to download this tool because sometimes infected machines prohibit the download of Malware removal tools. Save it to an USB Memory Stick and transfer it to the infected machines.

Start your Web Browser and Google for ADWCleaner and only download it from the www.bleepingcomputer.com website as shown in the screenshot below. It’s the first link in the search results.

The Scan will be done as soon as the Cleaning Icon becomes available. Click on it to clean without reviewing the files or go through each tab and review the results. I recommend to take the selection made by the program.
