Hi!
I did a quick search before posting, so I hope this topic hasn’t already been covered, but can anyone tell me how to get rid of “Glass Bottle Ads” please? I did a google search, but every site I clicked on brought up an Avast warning… So I didn’t download any of their suggested files (likely more viruses).
I tried Malwarebytes Anti-Malware so far, which found and removed 20+ Glass Bottle pups, but I still have the problem. I’ll continue with the steps (Farbar) and cross my fingers …
Please download ZOEK by Smeenk and save it to your desktop (preferred version is the *.exe one)
