Alright so somehow some way I ended up with what appears to be a pretty annoying and common piece of malware/unwanted extension. Its called CoupExtension and all my googloe searches failed to help me since it says remove the extension from my browser and uninstall suspicious program from my computer... well it shows up in neither but all the annoying ads and hyperlinks "brought to you by coupextension" are popping up and I know I don't want this on my laptop!
My windows Security essentials anti-virus scanned up nothing, which doesn't surprise me since its not technically a virus, but my spybot also picked up nothing. Google told me to use Spyhunter, great the scan showed it and told me I could remove it... if I got the paid version... ummm no!
So do any of you know good malware scan/removal programs that are free?
If not I plan to do a factory reset and say goodbye to it since I keep most things on a 3 tb external or on the cloud anyways, I was just wondering if there were any last ditch things I could try before the last last ditch.
thanks!
