jooikesteet removal help (potential browser hijacker)


Recommended Posts

Greetings to everyone,

I am experiencing an issue with with a potential browser hijacker software. The issue started as I received a notification from Windows that an application with the name qkjb.jooikesteet is runinng on the background as I have opened my Chrome browser. I have also receiuved another notification from Windows that jooikesteet.com has send me a message, while I avoided to click the notification. I have done a simple google search and read that it is a browser hijacker with the typical functions, site redirecting, malicious pop ups etc although I have not observed these problems while browsing with chrome. I have reset microsoft edge and cleaned all the cookies and history from  chrome and edge with cccleaner. In addition I have searched for weird extensions and applciations in my system, finding nothing suspicious. Full scans with malwarebytes premium and mcaffee antivirus plus resulted to now threats. I have how to identify the software's registry so that I can delete it manually. At the moment I have no idea how to proceed and fic the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank a lot in advance.
