In reply to Dario Arnaez. Hi Dario, Chrome and Firefox synchronization option (if you have it on) will restore your bookmarks when you log-in into your profile after the operation.

Hi again,

Glad you managed to fix it, the Ads are really annoying.

H Darjo,

I am sorry to hear about your poor experience with Spyhunter. We are actually recommending it ourselves, since it really is good. You’ll probably get refunded in a short order, but I advise you to instead send them a detailed report of your PC. The instructions are here: http://www.enigmasoftware.com/support/send-diagnostic-report-support-log/

The techies there will look into your report and send you a personal fix within 48 hours. See if it works and then go for the refund option if you feel like it.

That said it is possible that the virus was a one time deal – it changed your settings and it deleted itself afterwards. Some of these work like that, since they are essentially immune to such software.

Can you try resetting the settings of your profile and/or browser? If you are using Chrome go to Option-> accounts and create a new account, then delete your current one.

Hi Alyxander,

You can delete those lines yourself. As for Capricornus can you try resetting your browser’s profile? Which browser are you using?

Hi Alhpie, if you can’t save the Hosts file you likely don’t have admin permission.

To enable that open Notepad as admin (Search for the exe, right click on it and select open as admin). You then open Hosts frop the Notepad open menu.

Hi Aman,

Yes, Adwcleaner is pretty good for removing the viruses, but it doesn’t offer any real time protection. That’s why we recommend SpyHunter.

Your computer should be clean now, but keeping it from getting hacked is entirely is up to you.

In reply to Aman Garg.

Hello Aman,

The virus wrote those line in the Hosts file itself. Delete all of these lines and save the Hosts file, then tell me if you still see Ads.

Did you try everything else in the guide?
