How on earth do I get rid of 'easylifeapp search'
I have tried uninstall program's, system restore even going to internet options and using default [Dell] but still this blasted thing will not go away.
Its full of pop ups that take over half the page. It is driving me crazy.
All started with a 'survey to win £50', stupid move by me I know!! Now every new web page comes up with a new survey.

    These little blighters!

    Download and install RogueKiller. It will self scan 1st, then run a scan and delete all the crap it finds.

    Many many thanks I seem to have done it! Always surprised when something works, even following others directions.
    Roguekiller took a few things out and then I followed the path on Anvisoft site. And now no annoying pop ups got my home page back and everything in the camp is rosy---til the next time!!

    As a rule when I post a query or a techie problem the response on this site is amazing, this time I feel let down by the techie group or of course you don't know the answer to my request!!
    Or the one's who could answer my query are busy on holiday or watching footie!
    Below is the problem.



    Morning all,
    Links from page to page not working, HELP!
    My laptop used to let me click on all links and take me to that site whatever it was, recently when I click on links on a page they wont work, I mostly have to right click then click open link to take me to the page linked to the link.

    This started a while ago, it may have been when an update was installed.

    I hope the above makes sense?
    Thanks in anticipation
