How can I get rid of the malware known as Windows of custom settings?
Here we have a computer that has picked up the malware known as Windows of the custom settings. I downloaded, installed and tried to run Spyware Doctor, SuperAntiSpyware and a few others. I can't launch the software, obviously this malware prevents what he'll kill to run. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance for any help you can give.
Yes, I had tried AntiMalWare with no success. However, I had to run SuperAntiSpyware and it took care of the problem. It took 2 separate trials so he can run and clean it well. Thank you for your quick response.

How can I get rid of the program: Win32 / Torpump virus/malware microsft security only partially deleted scannner?
Hello
If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be harder to detect as
the cause.No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however, you must also run
the regular windows when you can.TDSSKiller.exe. - Download the desktop - so go ahead and right-click on it - RUN AS ADMIN
It will display all the infections in the report after you run - if it will not run changed the name of
TDSSKiller.exe to tdsskiller.com. If she finds something or not does not mean that you should not
check with the other methods below.

How can I get rid of the webshoppy pop ups
How can I get rid of the pop up webshoppy?
You may have installed ad-injecting malicious software ("adware").
Do not use any type of product, "anti-virus" or "anti-malware" on a Mac. It is never necessary for her, and relying on it for protection makes you more vulnerable to attacks, not less.
Save all data first.
Some of the most common types of adware can be removed by following the instructions from Apple. But before you follow these instructions, you can try an automatic removal.
If you are not already running the latest version of Mac OS X ("El Capitan"), update or upgrade in the App Store you could adware to automatically remove. If you are already using the latest version of El Capitan, you can still download the current update of the Apple Support downloads page and run it. Still, some types of malware will be deleted, not all. There is no such thing as the automatic removal of all possible malware, either by OS X third party software. That's why you can't rely on software to protect you.
If the malware is deleted in your case, you will still need to make changes to the way you use your computer to protect you from new attacks. Ask if you need advice.
If the malware is not automatically deleted, and you cannot remove yourself by following the instructions from Apple, see below.
This simple procedure to detect any type of adware that I know. Disabling is a procedure distinct and better still.
Some legitimate software is funded by advertising and may display advertisements in its own windows or in a web browser while it is running. It's not malware and it may not appear. In addition, some Web sites display advertising intrusive popup that can be confused with adware.
If none of your web browsers work well enough to carry out these instructions, restart the computer in safe mode. Allows to temporarily disable the malware.
Step 1
Please triple - click on the line below on this page to select it, and then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination:
~/Library/LaunchAgents
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ go to the folder...
from the menu bar and paste it into the box that opens by pressing command + v press return. Open a folder named "LaunchAgents", or you will get a notice stating that the file cannot be found. If the file is not found, proceed to the next step.
If the folder opens, press the combination of keys command-2 to select the display of the list, if it is not already selected. Please don't skip this step.
There should be a column in the update Finder window. Click this title two times to sort the content by date with the most recent at the top. If necessary, enlarge the window so that all the content show.
Follow the instructions in this support article under the heading "take a screenshot of a window." An image file with a name starting in 'Screenshot' should be saved to the desktop. Open the capture screen and make sure it is readable. If this isn't the case, capture a small part of the screen indicating that what needs to be shown.
Start a reply to this message. Drag the image file in the editing window downloading. Alternatively, you can include text in the response.
Leave the case open for now.
Step 2
Do as in step 1 with this line:
/Library/LaunchAgents
The record which can open up will have the same name but is not the same as in step 1. In this step, the folder does not exist.
Step 3
Repeat with this line:
/Library/LaunchDaemons
This time the file will be called "LaunchDaemons."
Step 4
Open Safari preferences window and select the tab 'Extensions'. If the extensions are listed, post a screenshot. If there are no extensions, or if you cannot launch Safari, skip this step.
Step 5
If you use Firefox or Chrome browser, open the list of extensions and do as in step 4.
