My Sons computer is infected with this crap,


Let that be a lesson. From what I just read, it's offered to you when
you install other software. Your son agreed to it at that time. I know
it's inconvenient to read all those windows that pop up, but it's
important to avoid this kind of situation.

is there a simple way to remove it?


What have you tried so far? What anti-virus do you use? Do you have any
other anti-malware programs available? Have you looked to see if it's
listed in Control Panel | Programs and Features to see if you can
easily uninstall it? Have you tried disabling it in your browser add-
ons?

Check out:

This page mentions three products that it claims will remove it. I can
vouch for Malwarebytes as being pretty good about that kind of thing,
but I haven't run into your particular problem so I can vouch for it
being able to remove this bug. It's worth a try.

Follow their directions, but please download the software from the
original manufacturer's site, NOT from the above web page.

I am using Malwarebytes and Adwcleaner plus Windows AV.

Thanks, Rene
