| Sep 9, 2015 at 23:24 | comment | added | fixer1234 | @DanNeely: Most of the sites hawking malware removal crap have instructions that look like that -- generic pabulum that sounds like useful instructions, with lots of steps so it looks like a big job, followed by the simple alternative of just downloading their program. If you remove the ad, the instructions often lack important details or contain steps like lots of registry changes. There's no real value in the instructions when there are tested and trustworthy tools already covered in our canonical malware post. | |
