Originally put this in Spyware but got no traction.
I have a Win7 computer which is getting the 'System Support IT' pop-ups. (You may be infected, call this toll free number, etc.) All my go to actions to eradicate this thing have had no success. Reading a removal instruction at a site called malwaretips.com, they suggest using ADWCleaner, then Malwarebytes (I did already do Malwarebytes and it found quite a lot but did not eliminate the issue), then HitmanPro and finally to reset IE settings.
Uninstalled and re-installed IE 11, no change.
I see HitManPro recommended by Hooper above but can anyone vouch for ADWCleaner and/offer another suggestion for a reliable instruction site or approach to getting this cleaned out?
Wiping and re-installing is not necessarily out of the question on this PC but I'd rather clean it up than take the time to re-install.
Thx
