A friend who is unfamiliar with today's computers & browsers keeps getting infected with the MyWay virus. Maybe it's not a virus, it is certainly an annoyance. It seems to glom onto FireFox and make itself the default page when the browser is opened. Maybe Chrome too, not sure of that.
I have twice gotten rid of it for him; different ways each time. Today with some variation of AdAware, previously I figured out how to do it in Firefox. Computer is Windows 10.
I had him purchase a virus protection program I have used for years called AVG. I have NEVER had any issues since I have had AVG; I have Win 10 also.
Is there a permanent solution that can be applied to prevent MyWay from coming back?
Thanks
Check on the left side under the Main Explorer tree for strange (alphanumeric) processes. Kill these, close out but do not restart.
Run Malwarebyes as noted above and clean up malware. Then restart and test.
