Hi,

I seem to have downloaded something and now have programs on my Laptop that wont go away!

Programs are:

Mixidj toolbar
Yontoo toolbar
Lyrics Tube
Free twittube
Software version updater

Mixidj especially, hijacks all my browsers and makes itself the default page and search engine...

I uninstall them using revo uninstaller and run Malwarebytes anti-Malware and all is fine until I restart and they all come back!

Any ideas whats going n here and how to get rid of them completely?




Doing your best is much more important than being the best.

Sometimes reinstalling is the best solution, as you don't know what these tools will not be able to find. If it was my computer and I couldn't fix it, I would probably reinstall. Or apply an old image backup if you have one.
