1. Tried to uninstall “Browse to Save” program from my control panel but could not find “Browse to Save” program to uninstall
2. Tried to Remove “Browse to Save” extension from my browser (Firefox & Internet Explorer) but could not find the extension or add on.
3. Tried to Remove “Browse to Save” registry keys with AdwCleaner.
4. Ran a scan with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware
5. Double checked my system for any left over infections with HitmanPro


I follwed the steps as directed on
http://malwaretips.com/blogs/browse-to-save-ads/

but I still cannot get rid of BROWSE2SAVE or BROWSE TO SAVE

RE: Get Rid of Browse2save

Hi and welcome to MalwareTips! :)

I'm Fiery and I would gladly assist you in removing the malware on your computer.

Before we start:
  • Note that the removal process is not immediate. Depending on the severity of your infection, it could take a long time.
  • Malware removal can be dangerous. I cannot guarantee the safety of your system as malware can be unpredictable. It is possible that we might encounter situations where the only recourse is to re-format and re-install your operating system. Therefore, I would advise you to backup all your important files before we start.
  • Please be patient and stay with me until I give you the green lights and inform you that your PC is clean.
  • Some tools may be flagged by your antivirus as harmful. Rest assure that ALL the tools we use are safe, the detections are false positives.
  • The absence of symptoms does not mean your PC is fully disinfected.
  • If you are unclear about the instructions, please stop and ask. Following the steps in the order that I post them in is vital.
  • Lastly, if you have requested help on other sites, that will delay and hinder the removal process. Please only stick to one site.

<hr>
Goto Start > Control panel > Uninstall a program. Under the list, see if AOL is there. If so, remove it. Next

Open OTL. Under custom scan/fixes, copy and paste the following:

Then click Run Fix. Let your PC reboot to normal mode. A new log will be created automatically, post the content in the next reply.

<hr>

Please download Junkware Removal Tool to your desktop from here
  • Turn off your antivirus software now to avoid potential conflicts
  • Double-click to run the tool. For Windows Vista or 7 users, right-click the file and select Run as Administrator
  • The tool will open and start scanning your system
  • Please be patient as this can take a while to complete depending on your system's specifications
  • On completion, a log (JRT.txt) will be saved to your desktop and will automatically open
  • Post the contents of JRT.txt into your next reply
