That seems to have done the trick Didn't remove it though... The bloomin thing keeps coming back.

I can't install the antispyware program. I think that the malware is blocking installations of removal software, updates for AdAware and access to any software's website (page cannot be displayed). Searches for help are always hijacked. I have the MediaTubeCodec variant. I really need removal instructions that don't involve software, or a way to make the installer work, but neither seem to be addressed anywhere. If anyone could help (I imagine this post will get moved to another place), I would greatly appreciate it.
