How to remove "v9.com" from our browsers - A Solution! THE EASY WAY!!!

     In general it's really hard to remove v9.com from infected machine. The reason of that is that it installs all over the OS and if only one trace remains it can infect the whole OS again!

    OK! Let's start with the process. I will add screens later!

step 1. - Remove any suspicious software from your computer. You can uninstall software from the Start button -> control panel -> Programs and futures. Start with - V9 Toolbar, Browser defender, Browser protect, Browser protected by conduit, Delta search, Babylon Search, LessTabs, WebCake 3.0, Yealt, LyricsContainer, VideoSaver, AddLyrics, privacy safeguard, unfriend checker, Pricepeep today, Coupon amazing, TidyNetwork.com, DownloadTerms 1.0, Yontoo and continue with any other toolbar and software you decide is suspicious.





step 2. - Download and install anti malware/adware software. I can recommend Malwarebytes (i use this particular software to remove v9.com from my machine). You can use the free version in passive mode (download the free version and do not pick trail version in the end of the installation). I use it like this alongside with another active antivirus software (Avira Antivirus in my case)!

    Scan the computer and quarantine everything the software finds.

Attention! Look for everything that looks like system files! Like explorer.exe, kernel32.exe and etc. If they are infected and you quarantine them the OS will fall and it will be really hard to fix it later!

 

step 3. - remove any suspicious plugins and addons from your browsers.

For Firefox 


For Chrome




step 4. - Clean the shortcuts! Right click over it -> Properties. From "Shortcut tab" in "target" section remove everything after " .exe" " it will look something like this "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" http://v9.com/djfsdfsdjfsdf[sd and must remain only that part "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
