What this was is a fake Cedrick Collomb Portable. Unlocker is only an Install.

Would not delete man...

How to remove Ninite.exe

dans Windows par Skyfall

I am running Windows 7 and I downloaded and installed the Ninite program for automatic software updates. It said it had installed and updated some programs but I cannot find the Ninite.exe file anywhere on my PC. Is there a way to remove it?

Advanced System Care

I've been using IObit's advanced system care and other progs for a long time now, on recommendation of a techie.  I have successfully told Malwarebytes not to remove it, although Mb obviously hates it.  However, I've just had a problem with recurring PUPs and thought I'd turn to ADW because my current stronger package is playing silly-b's since a recent update.  But it just came up with a board...

Re: area51buy.com hijack

Thanks for replying. I tested it with all addons disabled and the problem is still there. Both AdwCleaner and MalwareBytes tell me that "no threates were found".

I created a new clean Firefox profile and that problem disappeared, but I would like to be able to remove it from my current profile (to preserve history, open tabs, etc.)

I can send files from my firefox profile if that helps (I did...
