Beware, SpyHunter is fake. It shows me things that i never had n my computer like TornTV 96 threads and BitCoinMiner. As I made some research, other customers have the same things listed among with the real malware. As it appears, it exaggerates greatly the malware to make you thing that your computer will literally fall apart from being full of malware. It, like many other similar programs says it's free, BUT ACTUALLY IT'S NOT. IT'S MADE ONLY WITH FREE SCAN ADDING FAKE MALWARE DETECTED AND WHEN IT SHOW YOU THAT YOUR COMPUTER IS INFECTED WITH 256K THREADS, IT ASKS YOU TO PAY 40$$$$$$$$$$ TO CLEAN THEM.
Aside of this crappy misleading piece of crap, I've ran into trouble since I downloaded a driver for a mouse from one Russian site. After many efforts from me, careful research and trying dozens of ''free'' anti-malware software like SpyHunter, AdwCleaner and many more, I uninstalled ''MTV'' which was some annoying malware showing ads on Chinese in the lower right corner of the screen. The main issue is that I CAN'T USE MY FAVOURITE BROWSER MOZILLA. As I learned, both of my browsers - IE and Firefox were hijacked by malware - feed.snapdo and feed.sonic-search. In Mozilla most pages but Hotmail and Google associated products can't open, it gives the ''problem with loading the page'' tab and in it are listed the usual options listed - check if Firefox is allowed internet connection, proxy server settings, etc... actually after detailed research I found out that this is caused by the cursed feed.snapdo/sonic-search, who are automatically transfering my browser activity to their servers, so I can't open most pages or something like it. I tried everything, I installed a half dozen more junk ''free'' anti virus programs like YAC, AntiMalware, Depth clean up junk files. The result was they cleaned IE, but Mozilla is still infected, I tried everything, I uninstalled it with the relevant appdata and installed it again but the #####ing feed.snapdo is still staying around and blocking my browser. Please help, this malware is extremely aggresive and changes my homepage to their fake search engine and lock my setting associated with starting page and default search engine and more and many more. HELP PLS SAY WHAT TO DO TO CLEAN THIS MALWARE FROM CONTROL PANEL I CAN DO NOTHING, I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE. SOS.

Hello,



They call me TwinHeadedEagle around here, and I'll be working with you.



Before we start please read and note the following:
  • At the top of your post, please click on the "Watch thread" button and make sure to check Watch this thread...and receive email notifications. This will send an email to you as soon as I reply to your topic, allowing me to solve your problem faster.
  • Please do not install any new software during the cleaning process other than the tools I provide for you. This can hinder the cleaning process. Please do not perform System Restore or any other restore.
  • Instructions I give to you are very simple and made for complete beginner to follow. That's why you need to read through my instructions carefully and completely before executing them.
  • Please do not run any tools other than the ones I ask you to, when I ask you to. Some of these tools can be very dangerous if used improperly. Also, if you use a tool that I have not requested you use, it can cause false positives, thereby delaying the complete cleaning of your machine.
  • All tools we use here are completely clean and do not contain any malware. If your antivirus detects them as malicious, please disable your antivirus and then continue.
  • If during the process you run across anything that is not in my instructions, please stop and ask. If any tool is running too much time (few hours), please stop and inform me.
  • I visit forum several times at day, making sure to respond to everyone's topic as fast as possible. But bear in mind that I have private life like everyone and I cannot be here 24/7. So please be patient with me. Also, some infections require less, and some more time to be removed completely, so bear this in mind and be patient.
  • Please stay with me until the end of all steps and procedures and I declare your system clean. Just because there is a lack of symptoms does not indicate a clean machine. If you solved your problem yourself, set aside two minutes to let me know.
  • Please attach all report using

    button below. Doing this, you make it easier for me to analyze and fix your problem.

  • Do not ask for help for your business PC. Companies are making revenue via computers, so it is good thing to pay for the repair.
  • If I don't hear from you within 3 days from this initial or any subsequent post, then this thread will be closed.

OK, thanks. I downladed and ran the tool you said and there's the log. I briefly checked it and found TornTV listed somewhere but I'm sure I have never had it on my current laptop, is it possible that it's installed by SpyHunter? The fact that when I was deleting it, I got window showing $10 instead of $40 if I cancel the uninstallation is showing enough about this scamware.
