Go to CNet. com and download the latest free versions of IObit Uninstaller, IObit Malware Fighter, and IObit Advanced System Care appropriate to your operating system. Make sure you read the site carefully and download the right program. Then, in order to prevent unwanted hitchhiker software, choose “Custom Install” and read every page and deny/refuse any unwanted riders.
After installation, run a scan, fix, repair, reboot if recommended, then use the Uninstaller to get rid of any software you want and any new stuff you downloaded at about the same time you began having problems. Be sure to use the second “Deep Scan” feature after you’ve finished the initial uninstall. This will get rid of any remnants of the program hidden in your registry and other places. It is very thorough and not available on many other uninstallers. Then, reset your homepage.
If you make a mistake and get rid of something important, the IObit Uninstaller will have automatically created a Systen Restore Point that you can reset to and start over again. Ta-da!
