Ok so here goes...
I was looking for a free office suit and came across a link offering Microsoft office 2010 for free! Now that's not something you see everyday. I was excited for it I must admit and me being not cautious at all I downladed the link and installed the programme on my laptop.
Only after I installed the programme did I sense something not right as it didn't open up, didnt appear on my desktop (usually newly installed programmes do) or neither was it in my programmes list in control panel.
Then I knew something was wrong and I had installed something other than an office suite.
I ran malware bytes and found 6 viruses (one being a Microsoft office named file and 5 being something related with the registry being called 'PUP.Option.HomePageHelper' I removed them /quarantined them and then rebooted. When I ran the scan again 5 viruses appear. This time the MS office named file is gone but the 5 registry malware still exist. I've done this scan 5 times now then removed them and then rebooted. They still appear even though before the reboot it said successfully deleted/removed/quarantined.
I've also run programmes like adwcleaner and spybot. Still no success as in malware bytes those 5 viruses/malware still remains.
Please help I just don't know what to do!
