    Google Leads

    Hello All,

    Despite paying for an annual subscription for a virus program and doing at least weekly full in-depth scans as an "administrator" I noticed a little window appear. It happened while loading up a picture-heavy truck website and the little window that briefly flashed up said something like "Google Leads". Meanwhile the whole computer froze until it loaded something

    I found a website about how to remove Google Leads. Do you think that the removal instructions are plausible? Or is it a malicious site in itself? I am a semi-Luddite so I would like the opinion of others more versed with computers before playing with the Registry files.

    Remove google leads double click – Best Way To Remove google leads double click From Your Computer | uninstall expert

    Or alternatively, is there a reputable freeware program that I can download that can pick up this Trojan and remove it?

    I am not happy that my uBute annual subscription anti-virus program that is meant to be fully active during internet use did not pick this Trojan up in the first place

    Kind Regards
    Lionel

    AdwCleaner

    AdwCleaner

    Hello Incisor,

    I downloaded AdwCleaner and the program runs up to a point where it says "waiting for action. Please uncheck items you want to keep"

    What action does it want me to take and what do I want to keep?

    It will not progress beyond this point.

    Kind Regards
    Lionel
