Ken, I am getting less occurrences of the malware, but it hasn't gone completely...
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

- 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

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

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