have googled but so many diiferent approaches and not all worked for them. Had hoped for a simple answer that will not leave me a dead laptop as I`m not too good with computer messing around.

anyone suggest the first thing to try. Will a rollback work to get rid?

thanks

anti virus software doesn`t typicaly deal with this kind of program (malware/spyware) & the problem is, to get infected with this, the user has actually clicked a pop up, or actually gone to the site & in essence given the program permision to install, thats what makes them hard to shift :(

Just a second thumbs up for the Malwarebytes programme. The AV at work would no / did not detect it, but malwarebytes cleared it after a through disk sweep,
