I recently installed DVD Shrink - unfortunately after that any website I open it pops up boxes displaying offers depending on which website I am on.
I found the pops ups relates to http://www.offers4u.org/
I have tried to disable it but no luck still pops up. I have looked under control panel/add and remove program. Cannot find the program to uninstall.
I did try to uninstall FLV Player. I did not install that. It was automatically installed at the time I was installing DVD Shrink.
When screen appears to uninstall FLV Player - It just gives more options more programs. Nothing else.
What should I do?
Thanks
MS

Download and run MalwareBytes, that should show up unwanted programs and remove them.
Unfortunately you did the classic error in installing the program without doing a custom install - you agreed to their terms and conditions which then means you gave them permission to install all the cxxp that has now caused your problem.0
