    Default hi.ru browser hi jack removal

    Anyone assist?

    Spyware Search and destroy can't get rid, nor can AVG.

    Every website seems to tell me to install SpyHunter, but this is a premium software and I don't want to pay.

    Can anyone locate anything?

    Run Rkill to terminate bad processes, go into your browsers settings and look at the add-ons/extensions, remove anything nasty. Ccleaner to remove any suspicious/dodgy software DO NOT REBOOT during any of this. Any stubborn software use Revo uninstaller. Clear temp files and reg with Ccleaner. Run Malwarebytes, remove anything found, do not reboot. Run Adwcleaner remove anything found, reboot and you are hopefully clean. Run an AV scan to be safe too.

    Thanks to evilsatan

    I had nothing in Chrome, but when I went to IE it was all in Russian, even the FILE EDIT menu etc, I checked in Tools and Add Ons and there was nothing I didn't recognise in there.

    CCleaner ran and just removed some CHrome temp files, certainly nothing out the ordinary.


    Malwear scans in 3 minutes for 300k file with 0 threats found.

    I uninstalled AVG free, is this the best to go back into, as currently don't have any AV other than Windows Defender.

    Update:

    I just checked Youtube and watched a video. Appeared I just needed to right click the chrome icon and go to properties and alter the TARGET path that had the Hi.RU/44 address as a lauch address at the end.

    Job done!

    Thanks to BigBrand
