Getting rid of Browse Pulse
« on: April 19, 2015, 06:10:54 PM »
Can anyone give me advice on how to get rid of the Browse Pulse adware? My Avast detects it and removes it, but when I open my browser, its still there and still active.

Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your Desktop.
 
Note: You need to run the version compatible with your system. If you are not sure which version applies to your system download both of them and try to run them. Only one of them will run on your system, that will be the right version.
 
  • Right click to run as administrator (XP users click run after receipt of Windows Security Warning - Open File). When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
  • Select  additions at the bottom
  • Press Scan button.

  • It will produce a log called FRST.txt in the same directory the tool is run from. 
  • Please attach both logs generated.

If you post, look below the box where you type.
There is "Attachments and other options"
