They offer a money-back guarantee that they will find and remove viruses. She said they don't cover browser problems And I'd have to pay for their tech support. I said it wasn't a "browser problem." I have a virus that takes over every browser, and I've already deleted and reinstalled my browsers. There's a file on my system that deploys and hijacks the browsers. Apparently not, because if my PC had a virus, their service would alert me. Never mind that she could see the hijack in progress while McAfee was running. Nope. Their service works fine. Am I missing something? If the computer is not infected, and the hijack occurs on a clean browser- no extensions, add ons, nothing, what else could it be but a virus? And, if this isn't what McAfee does, what exactly does their service protect you from? O_o less

It also disables most of the page's functions.Proior to this, I had not installed any new programs on my computer in months, though I was on a site looking up "Hamlet" quotes the other day and got one of those annoying pop ups that said I was infected. I closed the window and went on with life.I run MacAffee and it didn't catch this. It still doesn't realize there's something there.Because I use Chrome, I cleaned that. I also removed all cookies from the last week and all of my cache. Nada.I ran Malwarebytes, which found and eradicated four files. I rebooted and enjoyed a couple hours of peace before the ad hijacker started again. Now, Malwarebytes sees nothing in repeated scans.I deleted Chrome and switched to FireFox. Within about 5 minutes, the malware took FF over too.I then switched to ESET scanner, which found and eradicated one file. I rebooted and the malware is still active... less
and which ones do you have installed on your comptuer?- for me that would be google chrome but once chromebooks get the Google Play Store (apps) later this year- im gonna try Firefox.
