Conduit Search/Toolbar + ParallaxSearch.com + PUP.Optional.ChipDe found


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

I found the above mentioned viruses and have no idea what to do to remove them.  I do know where I got them from: I went to a (what I thought) respectable site and downloaded win media player black. I'll never go back to that site. What do I do?

Thank you so much in advance for your help,

Martin
