Hello,
Today I discovered that my chrome's homepage was changed to "www.viceice.com" and all extensions and plugins were either gone. I found out that it was a browser hijacker.

I tried the guide on this website related to viceice.com and another website; used the following software/tools :
Adwcleaner
Malwarebytes
Hitmanpro
Junkware removal tool
Spyhunter
and Emisoft emergency kit.

Malwarebytes,spyhunter,adwcleaner and Hitman did remove a few files, but the problem still persists. This seems to be a very stubborn piece of malware.

Any help would be appreciated .
Thanks.

PS: the log attached for adwcleaner is not the one which removed the malware,its taken after cleanup therefore its empty. Sorry about that.
