Sick as a parrot at the moment, its 9pm and have far more important things to do than worry about some !!!!!!! malware thats taken over my toolbar. I installed some video splitter however on install it installed many other things which this Search Protect is amongst. Ive uninstalled other things and currently doing a maleware seach which up to now has detected 17 things and only 10% in

I cannot see in my uninstall section of control panel a uninstall for this Search Protect so pleading for help.

Im using Maxthon on Windows 8.1 however its currently on my tool bar.
All the big powers they've silenced me. So much for free speech and choice on this fundamental human right, and outing the liars.

    Use these three tools in this order:

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/junkware-removal-tool/
    Then scan through with malwarebytes:

    Should clean you up.

    If it's the one that has a blue e symbol in the notification area (looks a bit like internet explorer) go to C:\Program Files (x86)\XTab and run the uninstaller there

    If I tell you who I work for, I'm not allowed to help you. If I don't say, then I can help you with questions and fixing products. Regardless, there's still no secret EU law.
