We removed a hijack browser thing in the spring with Malwarebytes easily.
So we decided to buy the upgrade more complete program. (we still have AVG free version) In the settings for Malwarebytes is a section with 3 choices to deal with PUPs ... We picked the option for detect and remove it automatically.

I used malwarebytes a long time back.
I should get it again. I was surprised that my adware/spyware programme didn't pick up the one I had. It was picked up by my anti-virus and then only after I had received the month or more worth of updates that I'd not been able to get because of the connection problems. |

I think Malwarebytes does a pretty good job of getting them?

I use the free version of Malwarebytes as well as (day job stuff) the corporate version of Norton.
I run Malwarebytes once a week - it does a good job of zapping PUPs on the (rare) times that I have picked one up. |

I always find these on Malwarebytes, best thing to do is always select the option to remove them. Most of them, you're not getting rid of any important files.
