so far so good. no popups or redirects etc…
Question:
One of the programs is still in the CONTROL PANEL>UNINSTALL PROGRAMS list.
When I try to remove it it gives an error saying part of the program is missing. How can I get this program completely off the computer. The program in question is: SavePass Smartbar
Let me do it

still there…
looking for installer.msi in:
C:\Users\shawnia\AppData\Local\Temp\smartbar\
log attached
If you try to uninstall it from control panel does windows offer to remove the entry
system
12
No.
I try to uninstall it and it is looking for the installer.msi file but cant find it. I press cancel and
It says ‘installation source is not available…’
Do you have Revo uninstaller as that will do the job for you
system
14
ok Revo got rid of that.
While I was testing to make sure eveything was good, I saw that the TROVI search bar was still in Firefox. I reset firefox and IE and that is good now.
Should I check for anything else?
Chrome will need to be manually reset
Is all well now
system

I uninstalled chrome… 
But then I ran malwarebytes and there where 100 PUPS?!!?
See attached
Intriguing as I removed search protect with FRST and the AdwCleaner run never saw it. Silly question was something downloaded in the interim ?
A small tool that may help when you download programmes
http://unchecky.com/
Click on the link above to be taken to Unchecky.com
click the very large Download button.
click Save
Click Open folder
Right click on the Unchecky_setup
http://i1059.photobucket.com/albums/t432/cinjo23/uncheckysetupicon.png
or folder and choose to Run as Administrator
Once open click the Install button.

Then click on Finish
http://i1059.photobucket.com/albums/t432/cinjo23/uncheckyfinishsetupwindow.png
Unchecky is now installed and will help you keep unwanted check boxes unchecked

OK added unchecky.
The only thing I think may have happened, I “uninstalled” those from the control panel.
The only thing I installed was REVO, and after revo ran I saw TRIVOLI pop back into firefox, then I reset those…then I saw those PUPS again.
Should I re-run any of the programs ?
Just AdwCleaner please, where did you get revo from ?

Got REVO from CNET.
