Hi there sorry if this is posted in the wrong area or is irrelevant to these forums if so please feel free to delete.
A friend on mine recently downloaded what seems to be a v9 browser hijack. Unfortunately Avast and Malwarebytes between them are seemingly unable to fully remove this (potentially as it is not, by definition, a virus). In trying to find a way to remove traces of this from their computer I have come across several references to a couple of pieces of software that seem to be successful, the two programs are called AdwCleaner and HitmanPro. Since I have never used either of these pieces of software myself and I am aware that, at least, AdwCleaner alters the registry, I just wanted to know if anyone has experience with or would recommend either of these as legitimate pieces of software or could recommend an alternative method of removal.
Thank You
