Arghhhhhhh BrowserProtect!

LadyMorticia

Hey all.

I can't get rid of something called 'BrowserProtect'! My SuperAntiSpyware flagged it up as a virus so I removed it...or so I thought...!

It's not in the add/remove programs part of the Control Panel but there's a folder in my Program Files entitled 'BrowserProtect' with it. I've tried to delete the folder but it says that the file(s) is in use. I looked at my processes and BrowserProtect is running. I ended the process and it just restarts so I still can't delete the folder.

Can anyone please help me? I'm running Windows 7 64bit.

Thank you.:o

I did Google. It was more the process that kept restarting after I had ended it...even though I made sure to set it to disable.

I started in safe mode and was able to delete the folder.

You'll might find there's more than just BrowserProtect.
