[Closed] Malware adware speedapps url takeover

Hello, I am so happy to find you via Sammy's issue with this speedapps thing taking over his google resulted in his post showing up on my latest search. Unlike him I know when and where i got this from downloading a shareware video editing program off of cnet downloads.com. I am really surprised as i have been using them for over ten years without one hitch. I guess nothings safe anymore. anyways it installed itself on my yahoo toolbar even though i went in and disabled it it keeps throwing script errors ran top 3 anti virus full scans no change then upgraded to ie 8 and they ran a full malware scann still throwing script errors and opening ie windows. installed firfox so i had some ability to access the internet. uninstalled ie 8 and moved ie7's exe files to recyecle bin still no help. ran healthys pc cleaner no help I followed all the steps you gave sammy re: this issue and i am here When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results. * Be sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected. * When completed, a log will open in Notepad. Please save it to a convenient location. The log can also be opened by going to Start > All Programs > Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware > Logs > log-date.txt I have not made you a log yet because this is my first time here and i don't know how yet. I am hoping this just might work but wanted to let you know the last post was helping someone else from going crazy thanks

Sorry about the delay, but the amount of people posting with infected computers is through the roof and sometimes we can't get to logs as fast as we would like to.
