The site is pretty hokey looking, but the section called Automated Removal Instructions for XP Internet Security, Vista Antimalware 2011, and Win 7 Antispyware 2011 using Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware was the important one. I found this information VERY helpful in getting rid of it. This scam has caught several friends, and if I hadn't just help repair their problems, it would have got me too. I've been reporting these sites as I came across them too. That being said, Bleeping Computer folks are good at what they do, and it is all free.

If you are unfamiliar with advanced system modifications, I always recommend you use Combofix under the advisement of one of the Bleeping Computer experts, or at the very least, have a full system backup ready to restore, I have never lost a computer to combofix, but you can never, ever be too safe. Mind you, Combofix is a powerful cleaner, it does not let you pick and choose what stays and what goes, you run it, it kills any process it does not like and shuts off your internet connection while it scans and if it finds a rootkit or other such nastiness, it will reboot your computer in order to remove it and it removes anything it does not like. While Stack Overflow is good, Bleeping Computer ( makers of Combofix) has become my favorite place when I struggle to clean malware from a computer. When dealing with a very infected computer that I cannot just wipe clean and start over on, I have a 3-punch cleaning method which goes: Combofix, Malware Bytes & Super Anti-Spyware. Super Anti Spyware is one of my normal tools for cleaning computers.

BC sues Enigma for using their name and part of their source code without permission, registering websites claiming BC and their programs are malicious in an attempt to profit and tarnish BC's reputation.
TLDR Enigma sues BC for defamation over a "review". Essentially looking to tarnish and make money off BC's name. Many people do not recommend it and you have to pay to fix anything it finds.Įngima was suing BC over defamation because of the above "review" and because BC makes a commission off anyone who buys Malwarebytes through one of their malware removal guides, and therefore they are attempting to make them look bad so more people will buy MBAM or something.īC are suing them back because Enigma registered websites containing parts of BC's source code, and claiming their programs are malware and that you can run spyhunter to remove them. They also have a forum where a global moderator (not paid) wrote a 'review' (it was more of a opinion) on Spyhunter, which BleepingComputer is now being sued for defamation over.Įnigma is the company which owns Spyhunter, an anti-spyware product which was previously considered a rogue.

Plus, I always select custom install when installing. I figure a lot of these apps just get upset when you uninstall. Of course all this assumes the installer didn't do something bad. If I can't find a decent tool, I delete the folders I can find for the app and run CCleaner to try to clean out the registry. It tries to remove various adware and toolbars (though the interface can be a bit "software gory" IMO). An example is AdwCleaner (which I found via bleepingcomputer). I'll search the web for tools recommended on reputable sites.
I don't uninstall with Windows control panel either since this will usually just run the same uninstaller. And since installers often legitimately need admin privs, there's no limit to what can happen after that mouse click.ĮDIT: Since this comment's getting some attention, I'll add what I do to try to avoid using such uninstallers and ask if anyone has better suggestions. They can say that button "X" does whatever, but they can make it do whatever they want it to. Uninstallers for this kind of app scare me.
