I will bookmark this page and come here for any more solutions to any more problems I encounter!
I used spyhunter and the monster marketplace is still on my pages while im online.
What if i don’t get the option to reset keyword.url?
Can it be modified?
Spyhunter removes the hijacker / browser freezer. You should be able to change settings back after that. If something goes wrong, contact Spyhunter support (trhough help desk)- they will provide custom fix for cases when hijackers change.
SpyHunter has done a good job helping me find my problems. I was very anxious before. It was able to expose the threats that were on my computer when my other anti-virus could not because they were allowed through downloads or installations on my part when prompted. I use kaspersky and it is very good. Through trouble-shooting and using SpyHunter i was able to get all of them off. As far as monster marketplace it was just one part of what was on the adware. The main adware was an HD youtube high definition extension i got for firefox in my add-ons. Another was WAB also an extension called webmail ad blocker, this was also adware that had been added to my add-ons. I hope this may help someone and i am very thankful for SpyHunter. Thank you also for your support.
Thanks, with your method it’s working perfectly on FireFox!
