Hi
I have 'Shopping side Kick plugin' presence at the tool bar of outlook.
This follows several days of expert assistance trying to clean up my drives. In addition I subscribed to a dedicated tool to remove the infection but still no success. any ideas would be very appreciated. Also it nay be related but the icons remain highlighted on my desk top despite following the advised process to stop that happening.
I'm Fiery and I would gladly assist you in removing the malware on your computer.
PLEASE NOTE: The first 3 posts of ALL new members require approval by mods/admins. Please be patient if you don't see your post immediately after submitting it.
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.
