I can't get rid of Ask program because it is not among my programs
I can't get rid Ask program because it is not among my programs in Control Panel. I tried to follow all of the other suggestions I found on the Internet but without a bit of luck. Can anyone help, please.
Hi, please try to work through Remove Ask Toolbar and Ask.com Search by Malware advice - the article is a bit old, so you have to improvise!
Note that not all programs removal allows to detect all malware, you may need to run multiple or all of them.
After the withdrawal, you need to reset your home page and search, what you can do by running the add-on SearchReset.
If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you.

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

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

How can I get rid of unwanted programs?
I received a notice of Firefox (with the logo of Firefox) than "obsolete browser detected" and a box to click to update my browser. I clicked on the box and ended up with 4 or 5 programs that I didn't have a new area of research, quality Watcher, a search for protection, browser protection device, including PC upward speed. I have uninstalled most of them, but cannot get rid of protect research. If this mess is really Firefox, I just changed my internet browser program. Can you tell me how to get rid of search protect?
I somehow stumbled upon a website "Conduit search virus removal guide" and he suggested that I have download ADware Cleaner, I (free) and he removed to Protect research program. Thanks to everyone for the input.

How can I get rid of the program "Systweak?
This program has been downloaded on my computer while I was with google as my ISP. I paid for the program because he said I had a lot of things wrong with my computer (even though I see that nothing happens). It seems that the only thing that I paid for, was the "protector of Advance system' and the 'RegClean Pro' which has scanned my"free"computer now wants me to pay another fee for it. I want to just completely get rid of the junk. I had the 'software to remove/change"under windows and have"supposed to be uninstalled"these programs, but they come again whenever I restart my computer - can someone help me?
Hi Mimi
You could try revouninstaller. You will need the paid version if you already deleted parts of the program. It's free for 30 days. Or you could restore the program by using the system restore and then use the free version. The program erases everything about the program. Just make sure you follow the instructions.

Help! How can you get rid of this program installed? -McAfree Security Center

Your message is in the forum for the users of the software program anti-malware for Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE).

I've been using Firefox, now all I get when I click on the shortcut (Firefox) is MSN. I don't want MSN! I tried to delete MSN is going tto Panel; Add/Remove. Whenever I try to delete MSN, I get a message that it cannot be done; Maybe my connection to the net is not active. It IS - I can see the indicator.
This message also said if I couldn't access to remove it, go to the support. -Here I am. After hours of trying. Not sure, at 86, I have much more time to try to get this straightened out.It seems that MSN.com has been on the home page in Firefox. Here's a site with good instructions on how to set the home page you prefer: set your homepage in Firefox.
You can uninstall MSN as a component of windows like Andrew said, but it is not necessary if all you want to do is change your homepage. If Firefox is the only browser that you use once you change the homepage you probably won't see MSN again.
Best luck!

I tried several of the fixes discussed on mine, the problem of the popup saying "this computer is not running genuine windows". I'm tired and ready by using Microsoft. I bought this computer with windows installed in 2011 and about a month ago I got the error. When I look at the properties of my computer, it says windows is activated. Help please.
As expected...
I downloaded a file - sluicom64.zip - for my OneDrive to OneDrive Christmas
Please download and save to your desktop.
Right click on the saved file and select extract all...
Save it in the default location
This should create a file sluicom64.reg
Right-click on the file and select Merge
Accept the warnings, you should then get a 'Success' message
Close all windows and restart.

How can I get rid of the Aff JumpFlip packages, DocToTXTConvert?
I keep getting intrusive ads on the browser which I believe are due to downloaded software that includes JumpFlip, Aff packages and DocTo TXTConvert. I can't get rid of these programs to uninstall by using the control panel.
You can have an unwanted extension that injects ads. Try this:
Disable all non-essential or unrecognized extensions on page modules. Either:
- CTRL + SHIFT + a
- Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) button > Add ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, when in doubt, turn off. (Or if it's obviously bad, try to remove.)
Typically, a link will appear above at least an extension disabled to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.
