    What should I do next?

    Morning,

    Lets try a few things

    Download Avast-browser-cleanup to your desktop



    • There is nothing to install, just right click on it and Run As Adminstrator
    • When its finished scanning it will list Browser Add ONs
    • If if finds Total Ad Performance or any other bogus toolbars
    • Just high light them and select REMOVE
    • Close out the program
    • Reboot your system and test your browsers




    =============================================



    • Open Internet Explorer
    • Click on Tools up on the top right
    • Click on Manage Add Ons from the dropdown list
    • In this window you can manage the Internet Explorer add-ons
    • Click on Search Providers
    • Click on the option Toolbars and Extensions on left side of the window.
    • Then click on the malicious items to remove Total Ad Performance
    • Make Google you default
    • Close IE and then open it again and see if Total Ad Performance are gone






    ==============================================



    • Open Chrome
    • Click the Chrome menu on the browser toolbar.
    • Click on Settings
    • Then Manage Search Engines
    • Highlite Total Ad Performance and select Delete
    • Then go to Other Search Engines and remove all you dont want







    =========================================================





    • Open Firefox
    • Up on the Top Right in the Search Box , click on the down arrow and select Manage Search Engines
    • Highlite Total Ad Performance and select Delete







    If all of the above doesn't fix it, then lets try setting all your browsers back to defaults




    • Open IE
    • Go to Tools> Internet Options > Advanced Tab
    • Reset Internet Explorer Setting
    • Reset
    • This will take a few seconds
    • Close IE and then reopen it and see if it helped









    • Click the Chrome menu on the browser toolbar.
    • Select Settings.
    • Scroll down to Show advanced settings...
    • Down on the bottom you will see an option for RESET BROWSER SETTINGS
    • Click on it and it will set Chome back to defaults









    • Open Firefox
    • Click on Help > Troubleshooting Information > Reset Firefox to its default state

    Morning

    Lets try something else, you will need to run the 64 bit version of this program.



    Download and Run SystemLook


    Please download SystemLook from one of the links below and save it to your Desktop.
    Download Mirror #1
    Download Mirror #2
    64 Bit Version



    • Double-click SystemLook.exe to run it.
    • Copy the content of the following codebox into the main textfield:
      Code:
      :folderfind
      Total Ad Performance
      :filefind
      Total Ad Performance
      :regfind
      Total Ad Performance
    • Click the Look button to start the scan.
    • When finished, a notepad window will open with the results of the scan. Please post this log in your next reply.

    Note: The log can also be found on your Desktop entitled SystemLook.txt

    If SystemLook does not find it than it maybe spelled wrong, run it again with this
